"I am not going to go out there and play 40 minutes or probably even 20 minutes. If I can give 15 minutes here and there, get a couple of rebounds, a couple of blocks for somebody, I'll do that.

"Like I said, I missed it, especially playoff time. Those are the times you enjoy the most," he added. "The atmosphere is a lot better. It's a lot more physical ... It's what makes the game fun."

Ostertag played 11 NBA seasons, all but one in Utah.

ARAUJO CAMPING: According to a news release, Jazz center and BYU product Rafael Araujo will be among the instructors at a charity basketball camp held July 11-13 at Open Court in Lehi.

Proceeds from the camp for participants ages 8-18 will benefit the YouthLift program, which aids students with significant learning disabilities.

Also scheduled to instruct are BYU product Andy Toolson, who played 60 regular-season games for the Jazz during the 1990s; ex-BYU star Travis Hansen, who played for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and now plays in Russia; and several other former BYU players.

Cost is $85, or $95 after July 3.

More information and online registration is available at cefcharity.org.

UP NEXT: Three more big men audition for the Jazz this morning: 7-foot-1 Bosnian Stanko Barac, 6-11 Wake Forest product Kyle Visser and 6-10 Major Wingate, who played professionally in Turkey after being dismissed this past season from the University of Tennessee. Each is a second-round hopeful.
