The Utah Jazz Don't Have a Backcourt Problem

When you're drafting a Darren Peterson, was there any concern in your mind about how, if that could adversarially affect someone like Keontae, and how have you kind of tried to focus on making that work, that pairing? I think it was the opposite for me. I think there's a ton of belief and excitement in it. I think watching the playoffs, there's so much to learn, and I think one of the biggest takeaways was you need multiple ball handlers to get to the finish line. My communication with them is to try to continue to have them not focus on what it all means. you know I think there's always this this question of like well what does it mean you know we draft Darren Peterson and we already have Keontae what does that mean it means that Darren's a good player and we want him on our team and Keontae you're a good player and we need you both I don't want to pit them against each other because I think they have an opportunity moving forward to be a really dynamic backcourt you know that that term backcourt I feel like it went out of style like 15 years ago and now it's point guard shooting guard where you know I have Danny Ainge remind me all the time that they were just called a backcourt when he was playing. And that's how I'm trying to visualize those two.
