I know some people in the Jazz organization a little bit. They're aware it's not a flashy free agent destination, so they're very focused on player development. The organization is very upfront communicating with players that they respect them as professional athletes and will provide them with every resource they could need to improve in that capacity. They have people that will help make every single other aspect of their life easier so they can focus on basketball as much as they want.
