What's new

Jazz sign Dwayne Jones.

Damn, Dwayne Jones is already 30?
Time flies.

Jones was undrafted in the 2005 draft where the Jazz drafted DWill, CJ and Whaley and Marvin was the second player drafted overall. Other undrafted players in that draft were John Lucas and Andre Owens. The Wiki entry for Jones notes that John Lucas hit a 3 pointer to keep Jones' college team from going to the Final Four. Championship here we come
 
I wonder if Whaley is available?
 
Haha....an authentication window even pops up for that one. Still better though. Looks like he averaged 13.5 rebounds over 5 NBADL seasons. Very nice. If the Jazz are going to suck, the hustle model is always a good team goal. Guys that rebound like that usually fit.
I think, he has at least one skill that may be directly transferable to the NBA environment.
Definitely a nice find!
 
I wig out every year about all of the extra baggage that teams (including the Jazz) pick up during training camp. They all get cut in the end except for a few notable exceptions. I guess they just want some face time with international scouts. I doubt this guy stays, though with only 13 guaranteed contracts the team does have room for one player. I'm hoping it ends up being Machado.

I noticed that the guys the Jazz had in last year's camp that got cut are all going to other team's camps. Darnell Jackson is in the Pacers camp for example.
