FILE - In this June 29, 2016 file photo, Utah Jazz NBA basketball team 2016 draft pick Joel Bolomboy adjusts his hat during a media availability at the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City. Bolomboy has been back and forth between the NBA Developmental League’s Salt Lake City Stars and the Jazz 15 times since November. The NBA Developmental League has grown from an eight-team, largely overlooked sideshow to a 22-team league inching closer to becoming a legitimate minor league system since 2001. The league is no longer a final grasp for players clinging to a dream of playing professional basketball, but a respected avenue to get to the NBA. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)

This Feb. 4, 2017 photo shows New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis (23) looking on during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Washington Wizards in Washington. Davis is tiring of the narrative that his pro basketball career would be better served if he played somewhere other than New Orleans. During All-Star weekend, he’ll have a chance to exhibit why building a winner in the Big Easy matters to him. And if his enthusiasm for his adopted hometown proves contagious among some of the elite talent gathering in the NBA’s Gulf South outpost, all the better for the “Brow.” (AP Photo/Nick Wass)
