Utah Jazz coach Will Hardy expressed satisfaction with the level of competition during the first day of training camp, according to a September 29 report by Chandler Holt.
Hardy stated he was pleased with the competitiveness displayed by the players, noting the presence of appropriate banter and trash talk.
Hardy observed that when groups are new, players sometimes avoid intense competition to maintain social harmony. However, he noted that the players pushed each other with respect, which he believes will be beneficial in the long run.
