“The young guys are doing well,” Anderson said. “That’s what Jazz fans want to see. They’ve been part of the reason why (the Jazz) are winning games.”
Simone Fontecchio has also been big for Utah over the past two weeks. He averaged 10.8 points on about 39% from downtown.
Despite posting a 5-9 record, November has been a pretty fun month for the Jazz.
