The rookie enters All-Star Weekend as Utah's starting point guard. Time will tell what his role will be going forward.

Hendricks is rough around the edges, but he's been able to show flashes of his tantalizing talent in his short stints with the Jazz.

With their deals at the deadline, the Jazz determined they needed to get a look at the young players on their roster in "games that matter."

Utah's win over Milwaukee was an important one because the second-year big and rookie point guard were the ones to lead the Jazz comeback.

Last season, the Jazz started hot. This season, they started slowly. But they think they've found their point guard of the future.

After a rough start to the season, the Jazz have found balance offensively. George helped them win Friday in Memphis.

It's hard to find July success stories given the small sample size, but a few developments from Vegas have legs going forward.
