The Utah Jazz currently have 19 players under contract, and will likely bring in one more body for training camp next month.
Dennis Lindsey and the Utah Jazz know who they will be bringing to war during the regular season, but they have still have an open roster spot for training camp. That spot will more than likely go to a player who they can waive and then obtain their G-League rights.
Stanton Kidd, who was a summer league standout for the Jazz, was expected by some to sign a contract with the team, but no deal came to fruition. Kidd would have been an ideal candidate for a two-way contract, but he was locked in to a deal with his team in Turkey.
NBA teams are unable to buy out such contracts in the two-way scenario.
It’s unfortunate, because Kidd is a baller. It’s very unlikely he gets the last roster spot, but I wish him the best and hope he gets an NBA deal in the future. Instead, I’m going to take a look at some other candidates that I think the Jazz should at least consider for the final roster spot.
Here we go!
