Britton Johnsen, a former University of Utah standout, is hoping to make the Jazz this season despite their full roster, according to Deseret News.

"I know there's no spots open as of now," Johnsen said. "I'm going to go and try to do everything I can to make the team; that's my ultimate goal. At the same time, I understand it's going to be a tough (goal to achieve)."

Johnsen had offers from Europe ? where he's spent most of the past four years after short NBA stints with the Magic and Pacers ? but he decided to take the Jazz's offer.

"There's always openings over there," he said, referring to Europe. "I'm just kind of looking at this like maybe something good will happen out of it."
