Get to know the new Jazz roster

Jusuf Nurkić: The Jazz re-signed the Bosnian center after surgery this year.

• He's projected to be on the starting lineup.

Jaxson Hayes: The former Lakers center secured a two-year deal with the Jazz early this month.

• The intrigue: The J Notes' Matt John describes Hayes and Nurkić as "polar opposite players," with Nurkić's strategy and Hayes' athleticism offering complimentary options.

Mo Bamba: The veteran center will return to Utah with a two-year deal, claiming the last open spot on the roster, ESPN reports.

• After adding Nurkić and Hayes, Bamba promises the Jazz a degree of center depth when they go into the season without Kessler.

Josh Okogie: The former Houston Rockets guard has signed with the Jazz in a two-year deal covering his 9th and 10th NBA seasons.

• What they're saying: SI's Jared Koch calls it the "most underrated move" as the Jazz rebuild this summer, describing Okogie as "exactly what this team needs: a veteran perimeter defender who can also be a connecting piece on the offensive side of the ball."

Darryn Peterson: The Jazz claimed the star rookie shooting guard from Kansas with the No. 2 draft pick last month, and he's already been declared a "sensation."

• Yes, but: Fans watched as Peterson struggled in a Las Vegas showdown last week against No. 1 draft pick and former BYU Cougar AJ Dybantsa, who pushed the Washington Wizards to a 92-88 NBA Summer League victory over the Jazz.
• Peterson's first two games went much better.
