Shooting is arguably the most important trait in the NBA today, but if you have a team full of athlete’s, you’ll always be able to compete. While the Jazz came up short against Philadelphia, they flashed plenty of athleticism, with alley-oops and breakaway dunks coming often and impressively.

Sure, this isn’t going to win anyone on this roster a spot in the NBA, but Kofi Cockburn, Bruno Caboclo and Isaiah Miller all proved they can hang in the air, and with a little more scoring and more top tier talent, this could be one of the more fun teams to watch at Summer League.

With so many unproven guys on this roster, making highlight plays can get some good attention, but that will only take you so far, as these promising young players need to show a fleshed out game, rather than a quick highlight or two. Still, it’s definitely worth noting how often the Jazz got to the rim with a highlight dunk in this game, and if they can work in some of the bigger names like Kessler and Juzang over the next few weeks to add to this, we could be looking at a very fun squad.
