The Jazz's point guard battle will be 'vicious' in training camp, according to Jazz head coach Will Hardy. What factors is he considering as he decides who's going to play?
Veteran point guard Mike Conley was the team’s “crutch” last season, Hardy says. Now he’s looking for someone else to lead the rebuilding Jazz.
“We need to all take our level up a little bit in terms of understanding the situations of the game: time, score, who’s got the hot hand, all those types of things,” Hardy said.• 24-year-old Collin Sexton has started more games than any other guard on the Jazz’s roster: 223 starts over the course of his five-year NBA career. He’s shown high-level slashing ability throughout, his shooting is solid but he doesn’t fire from deep quite enough. He’s also a competitor on the defensive end.

On Friday, Hardy said he didn’t know if Clarkson would start or come off the bench, but said “I know that we expect Jordan to continue to be a leader on our team and somebody that we can rely on every night.
