Exum got hurt in that game. Expect Ice to be able to show off in more minutes in the Summer League.
It should give Olivier some more minutes as well.
But Ice's commitment, work ethic and overall shooting will ensure him a key spot on the Jazz roster.
PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!!

I would think w the emergence of Curry, NBA people will be much more open to not judging size automatically. I am not comparing Cotton and Curry but Bryce showed a couple of great offensive moves. Unfortunately in the first half he was matched up w Smart and Smart was scoring at will against him. NBA guards get bigger and bigger and guys like Smart are going to shoot over him or take Bryce into the lane and post him up.

Cotton will always be a situational player at best. Curry is much bigger than Cotton.

He helped himself tonight in a comeback win over the sixers. 20 pts and named Player of the Game as he put the team on his back down the stretch.
BTW his tight D also caused an errant pass on the Sixers last possession in regulation.
Missed a 3 ball to win it at the buzzer but proceeded in an abbreviated OT to hit (2) J's and 4 FTs and was interviewed after the game.
Cooley the former ND kid was tough as nails too with key rebs and FTs to tie the game in regulation...man if he had a couple more inches
If not the Jazz who signed some foreigner today, you gotta think that one of the 30 odd teams could use Cotton given some of the bums we see
sitting at the end of NBA benches.

He was the Cotton we know tonight. Here's the game story from the Salt Lake City Tribune. The Jazz just officially signed Neto today. Maybe they'll trade Burke or Cotton will play elsewhere I'm sure. No more D League for Bryce, he'll be on somebody's NBA roster next season.... www.sltrib.com/home/2715256-155/utah-jazz-bryce-cotton-leads-jazz

Well, Mr. Trey Burke, don't look now, but methinks you are in deep trouble...... BTW, Jazz GM Lindsey went on record that the Jazz "absolutely" might be willing to carry 4 PG's to start next season. m.axs.com/news/utah-jazz-guard-bryce-cotton-making-life-difficult-for-trey-burke-goin-60716"Trey Burke has every reason to worry now. The Utah Jazz guard thought he met his match when the team finally signed Brazilian guard Raul Neto to a multi-year contract recently after two years of courting the dude. Neto has been a thorn in Burke's side for two consecutive summers, throwing no-look bounce passes into teammates while looking like the second coming of John Stockton. Meanwhile, Burke has been sitting the bench those same summers, watching the Brazilian rip in passes that look effortless. Neither look is something Burke likes, because let's face it--he hasn't played at anywhere near the player he was as the college player of the year at Michigan. Burke's past two summers have been average at best, his first two seasons in league play decidedly so. And so now he has even more company at the point guard position: Bryce Cotton. Arguably the hardest working player on the Jazz, Cotton has literally sweated and willed himself into a spot on the team. Granted, the Providence product doesn't have a guaranteed contract, but if Cotton keeps putting up numbers like the ones he produced at NBA Summer League, Neto won't be the only new problem Burke has on the team. “I think we definitely ended on a good note, and this game definitely showed a testament to our character," said Cotton after the Jazz finished 3-0 in their first summer league of the summer season. "We're definitely a team with nobody who's selfish, so I think the chemistry is what's helping.” Cotton dropped 20 on Philadelphia to close out an unbeaten run in Salt Lake City and strike up the conversation, and orate the whispers about Burke going somewhere even louder than before. Cotton shot 6-for-14 from the field against the 76ers, scoring 12 of his 20 in the final quarter and overtime--both pivotal moments during which he shined for the home team. For the Jazz Summer League week, Cotton averaged a shade over 14 points per game. Looking back on what Burke did in his two summers for the Jazz, yeah. No comparison here. Cotton clearly has the edge in potential--in particular when comparing the two points wise and also in their vertical jump. Which brings us to our next potential dilemma. If the Jazz sign Cotton, they will have four point guards on the roster. At the moment they have three with Burke, Neto and of course, Dante Exum. But with Cotton potentially on the roster, you have to think Burke becomes a liability, an asset. It's a piece with which the Jazz could deal with pride and prejudice--especially considering what Burke did--to another team and let them handle the kid who can't keep his D in his pants and off of Twitter and who can't make proper decisions on or off the court. All of the afore-mentioned issues clearly spell out the need to get rid of Burke and bring on someone like Cotton who can provide things that are just as valuable coming off the bench as anything the higher priced Burke has ever provided."
