Analysis:

Felix made a quicker than expected recovery from his Grade One AC joint sprain and seems to be in the fold for the Jazz moving forward. Coach Quin Snyder has praised Felix during the offseason for his defensive mindset, although the 24-year-old will likely have a hard time carving out minutes in a rotation already occupied by Gordon Hayward, Alec Burks, Dante Exum, and Rodney Hood.
