Despite being traded to Toronto earlier this offseason, Robert Whaley was back with Utah on Monday when the Jazz opened Rocky Mountain Revue training camp in advance of Friday's start for the six-team summer league.

He has no guarantees and no promises he will make the roster, the Deseret News is reporting, and Whaley understands that.

"I'm just happy to be back," he said. "I'm ready to face any kind of obstacle that stands in front of me ? and this was another obstacle I've got to go through. I'm willing to come back and prove myself again."

"The only thing that kind of worries me is the part that really don't exist. Everyone says, 'Oh, he's got a bad past.' But I really don't see that past that everybody can see. You know, I've never been convicted. I never did nothing really wrong. Now, trouble do follow me. But, you know, I'm gonna prove myself as far as basketball goes."
