5 of the best Utah Jazz players from the 2023 Summer League

The Utah Jazz had some real studs this Summer League

The Utah Jazz have finished up Summer League for this offseason and overall did pretty well. Unlike most NBA teams, the Jazz play in two different Summer Leagues, one in Utah and one in Las Vegas. It’s the one in Vegas that everyone just refers to as “Summer League”, as it’s where all 30 franchises send teams to compete.

The Salt Lake City Summer League is now in its 8th consecutive year of action and is held across three days in early July. In the 2023 offering, the Jazz invited the Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Philadelphia 76ers to play. The Jazz won just one game out of three, so it wasn’t their best showing.

In the Vegas Summer League, the Jazz went 4-1, and were much better, even making the playoffs. Overall, the Jazz went 5-3 during the summer, and we’re going to be looking at the five best players from those eight games. Sadly, we’re going to be limited in our options, as the Jazz didn’t have two of their most anticipated players; rookies Taylor Hendricks and Brice Sensabaug. Both of whom missed the Summer League due to injuries.

Fellow rookie Keyonte George also went down during the summer series but he put in enough time to warrant consideration.

We’ll be looking at their play across both sets of leagues, amassing all eight possible games. That said, only four players played in all eight games; Micah Potter, Joey Hauser, Taevion Kinsey, and Colbey Ross.

While it’s not great to see so many guys miss any amount of time across just eight games, the Summer League isn’t worth possibly developing a serious injury over. So with that, let’s look at our top five players from the Utah Jazz’s summer, in descending order.
