SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – There were some positives to take away from the Jazz’s 85-68 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on the first night of the Salt Lake City Summer League.
The first one was the performance by Tony Bradley, he led the team with 14 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks on 6-for-12 shooting from the field in 25 minutes of play.
It’s a big summer for Bradley as he tries to crack Quin Snyder’s rotation during the 2019-20 season.
