Jazz's newest addition is a bigger deal than most think

The Utah Jazz future is in good hands, while the present is currently pretty miserable. While everyone is excited for what's sure to come, now is the time to see who are the keepers. One that actually might be worth keeping is one fans aren't very familiar with: new addition Andersson Garcia.

Utah added Garcia on a 10-day contract just the other day, and during Jordan Clarkson's homecoming, he definitely showed the Jazz some of the good stuff that could prove he's worth keeping around.

Starting next year, Utah's offense will be in extremely good hands with Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George, among others, leading the way. Defensively, very much is up in the air. Jaren Jackson Jr. and Walker Kessler are sure to build a great foundation, but they are only two players, so Utah will need all the help they can get.

It already sounds like the Jazz plan to keep Elijah Harkless when it's all said and done, as he's made his defense stand out (despite his lackluster offensive numbers), and if Garcia continues to prove his worth on that end, the Jazz should think about keeping him past this season.

Garcia is also an excellent rebounder

Garcia has played a in a grand total of one NBA game, and yet what stands out pretty clearly is his rebounding, as he corralled nine of them in only 25 minutes of playing time. A one-game sample size shouldn't convince anyone, but his history in other basketball leagues should.

In nine games with the Mexico City Capitanes, Garcia is averaging 10.2 rebounds in only 25.8 minutes per game, showing how effective he is when it comes to crashing the glass. In his last college year, he tied for the most offensive rebounds with Zach Edey, corraling 153 while playing one less game than Edey did.

Pairing him with Markkanen (a meh rebounder for his size) and JJJ (an infamously terrible rebounder for his size), and Garcia could fit right in for what the Jazz want from their rotation. He will have to prove himself in other areas too, though.

Like Harkless, what would help his chances is if he can spread the floor or at the very least, know when to cut to the basket. Utah will be looking for cheap help with all the money they plan to spend this summer, so if Garcia can add to what he's already proven, he can fit that bill.
