Amid all the buzz over the Charlotte Hornets offer sheet for Gordon Hayward, the Utah Jazz — some of them anyway — were back practicing at the Zions Bank Basketball Center this week. Tuesday marked the first day of the team's summer mini-camp, where a handful of guys who have already made the team have teamed up with some hopefuls ahead of the Las Vegas summer league.A few tidbits from Day 1:• New head coach Quin Snyder will be in Vegas, running practices. But his lead assistant, Brad Jones, will be the lead guy on the bench for Utah's summer league tilt.• Former Nevada forward Jerry Evans was invited to the camp but was not medically cleared to play.• Snyder smiled recalling a few plays during the practice involving two point guards, Trey Burke and Dante Exum. One of the big questions is whether they will be able to play alongside each other, but all involved seem excited about the possibility.• Burke and Exum were the only players to speak to reporters Tuesday. And both mentioned the freedom involved in Snyder's offense so far."There's a little more freedom on the offensive end," Burke said, comparing this staff to last year's. "Allowing us to play more and bring that potential out of everybody even more."Right now, at least, Snyder wants to see his guys getting the ball in quickly, pushing the pace, looking for easy baskets. • Snyder's first impressions of Exum: "He's fast. I think more than anything, he really looks like he knows how to play. … He knows how to play in pick and roll. He kicks the ball ahead. He's a willing passer." The coach added, "There's an aptitude that sometimes guys [have], the game just comes easy to them, and he's one of those guys. The neat thing is he loves to play. I think you can see his personality come out when he plays."• It's hard to believe Exum has yet to turn 19 years old. He's extremely composed and personable. All the makings of a star off the court.• Snyder is implementing his office, but slowly. At the end of the practice, with reporters watching, Snyder ran his coaches through a set he hopes to install this morning."It looks a lot better when [the players] are running it than when us old guys are out there," he said. "You guys saw that. It's ugly."• Speaking of coaches, the Jazz quietly added to their staff this week, hiring Lamar Skeeter, a former player at Walsh University, as a video analyst and player development assistant.• The Jazz are back at it this morning. I'll have another update later.— Aaron Falk
