The Jazz are signing free agent guard Johnny Juzang to a two-way contract, agents Sam Goldfeder and Jordan Gertler told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Juzang, 22, appeared in 18 games as a rookie with Utah last season, averaging 4.8 points and 2.2 rebounds. As Wojnarowski noted, he played well at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, averaging 17.8 points.
He also looked good in 17 games with the Salt Lake City Stars of the G League last season, where he recorded averages of 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists.
The Jazz have now filled all three two-way spots, with Juzang joining power forward Micah Potter and small forward Joey Hauser. Teams are allowed three two-way spots for the first time this season.
As @KeithSmithNBA stated earlier, the Utah Jazz renounced Johnny Juzang’s two-way qualifying offer. The move was done to have the needed cap space for Jordan Clarkson. The Jazz have offered Juzang a two-way for this coming season so they are still high on him
