The Utah Jazz selected Olivier Hanlan with the No. 42 pick in the 2015 NBA draft. Between practice sessions and two games in the Utah Summer League, Hanlan is learning a lot in a short amount of time. From Jody Genessy of the Deseret News:
- "Through two summer league games, Hanlan is averaging just 2.0 points on 14.3 percent shooting. He didn’t dish out an assist in either of the Jazz’s two victories, and he’s turned the ball over twice in 31 total minutes. Hanlan is certain to get another big opportunity Thursday night as the Jazz wrap up their own summer league schedule against the Philadelphia 76ers. Starting point guard Exum is listed as doubtful after having sprained his left ankle in Monday's game. While it’s a bit of a rough start in the pros for the Boston College star, Hanlan knew it might take some time to adapt to his new playing environment. The speed of the game is quicker than it was when he led the ACC in scoring last year (21.9 points average). There’s 11 fewer seconds to make plays happen with the 24-second shot clock. And his opponents are often bigger, stronger and faster than he faced on a daily basis in college and while playing for the Canadian U-19 team. Hanlan admitted to letting his nerves get the best of him right before entering Monday’s game for the first time."
