The Utah Jazz have a lot of signings happening for the upcoming Summer League and offseason. Here’s a list of everything they’ve been up to.
Utah Jazz sign Tamar Bates to two-way deal.
According to Michael Scott, the Jazz signed Tamar Bates to a two-way deal.
Scotto mentioned that Bates was sidelined with a foot injury as a rookie for the Nuggets, where he averaged 19.5 points with great percentages in the G League (55% overall and 44% from three).
Bates stands 6’4″ and weighed in at 195 pounds at the Draft Combine. He also measured a 6’10.25″ wingspan. Those are the types of measurements and percentages that are worth investing time in.
Utah Jazz sign Micah Handlogten to Exhibit-10 deal
Micah Handlogten is the son of Ben Handlogten, who played for the Utah Jazz in the early 2000s. Handlogten stands 7’1″ and played four years in college, the last three seasons for Florida. It’s just an Exhibit-10 deal, so he may be playing for Utah in the Summer League, but you never know when a player might show more. It’s mildly interesting when you consider the Walker Kessler situation that continues to develop, but it’s more just needing players for offseason training and possibly summer league.
Kyle Filipowski will wear #2 for the Utah Jazz
Filipowski obviously gave Darryn Peterson the #22 jersey, and Peterson mentioned that he had to give something to get it. We’ll probably never know. But it was a great gesture by Kessler to be willing to give that up. It’s not always something a player would be willing to do.
