The first-round draft choice took part in some of Friday's practice, but he didn't get up to full speed.

ALUMNI UPDATE: If he still can't latch on with an NBA team, 2004 Jazz first-round draft choice Kirk Snyder might decide sometime next week which of three offers from international teams he will accept.

Two reportedly come from clubs in Asia, and one is from a team in Europe.

"It's been a strange offseason in the NBA," Snyder's agent, Chris Emens, told the Reno Gazette-Journal. "There are all kinds of guys who have played prominent roles in the past who are in camp on non-guaranteed, minimum-salary contracts."

The former University of Nevada-Reno guard finished last season starting in Minnesota but couldn't land a satisfactory offer in the NBA's summer free-agency market.
