International players give Jazz communication issues

With Serbian the primary language for Montenegrin swingman Pavlovic, Spanish the first language of point guard Raul Lopez and Russian still the preferred language for small forward Andrei Kirilenko, communication issues may at times this season prove problematic for the increasingly international Jazz.
"Our team is almost like the United Nations right now," assistant coach Gordie Chiesa said.
Considering fluently bilingual point guard Carlos Arroyo hails from Puerto Rico and shooting guard Raja Bell is a native of the Virgin Islands, basketball really does appear to have no borders in Utah these days.
The game itself, though, seems to share a common language — allowing a team of men from different nations, and in some cases different worlds, to somehow all understand each other.
Usually.
