Johnny Juzang lands real contract with Utah

Johnny Juzang has managed to make his mark in the NBA. Undrafted when he left UCLA in 2022, the 23-year-old guard had since chained together “two-way contracts” in Utah, alternating between the G-League and the Big League.

Finally given responsibility for the Jazz's freewheeling end to the season, he reminded us that he could be a formidable scorer, as he had notably illustrated during the “March Madness 2021”, with in particular a 27-point game at 7/8 behind the 3-point line during a match against the Warriors.

Enough to convince Danny Ainge to offer him a real contract$12 million over four seasons!

While this may not be a complete guarantee, it's proof that the Salt Lake City franchise is counting on him, and that he has a chance of fully integrating into Will Hardy's rotation next season.
