More than anytime in their previous dozen seasons, the Jazz go into 1986-8strong from top to bottom. Too strong, perhaps. All 16 players in 7 training camp appear to have NBA-typ- e talent, with 14 of the players possessing previous NBA experience. The e average is 3 7 years. It is not inconceivable that whoever the Jazz release could immediately sign on with another NBA team, and come back to haunt the Jazz later on. Its making for a spirited camp, and a headache for the coaches, who must reduce the roster to 12 players by the start of the regular season. Still, there are worse problems to have And the Jazz know it. Their main goal during camp will be to coordinate the dozen who will have tlfe best chemistry, and that means blending in any of a number of newcomers. This Jazz edition will be a decided departure from the past. Most noticeably absent is Adrian Dantley, now the property of the Detroit Pistons after seven productive (two NBA scoring titles) seasons with the Jazz.
