Jazz New Two Way Contracts

I’d really like Yuta Watanabe for the last spot, but my wife lived in Japan when she was a teenager and speaks Japanese. . . so I’m biased that way.

Jazz already locking up Europe and Australia. Might as well add Asia to the international mix as well. Become a truly global franchise.

I would think the Nets would offer a two way first.

I’m 90% sure that it will be Kidd.

While I tend to agree, he’s 26 years old. Last year, I was hoping for Kobi Simmons and just adding a young player with high upside to develop. I’m fine with keeping Kidd. He has stood out to me over Summer League, but I’d prefer a wing with higher upside for the spot. Hence, why I’d try for Watanabe first.
 
I've watched a lot of Mountain West Conference basketball games and do not remember him at all for the year he played at Colorado State,

So, you watanabe, Watanabe?
 
Seems like they are set unless a trade or something happens

Main roster (15)
Gobert
Favors
Ingles
Mitchell
Rubio
Crowder
Exum
O'neale
Sefolosha
Udoh
Allen
Burks
Niang
Neto
Bradley

Two way contracts
Naz Mitrou Long (confirmed two way)
Stanton Kidd (looking like a two way given the current roster situation)


Jairius Lyles (training camp/Stars deal??)

Well, that still leaves 2 others for training camp. But yeah, the drama is pretty much over. Only "surprise" was Jerebko getting waived and replaced by Niang.

Kind of disappointed we didn't see more of Allen in summer league.
 
If my math is right this would allow 3 more invitations to training camp but the Jazz are allowed to sign 4 affiliate players for the Stars so someone gets waived during camp and another body signed just before camp ends to be cut shortly thereafter.

Well, I was counting Kidd as part of the 20. Can't they only have 20 on the TC roster? So yes, you are right, there has to be someone waived and another player signed before the end of camp to get to the 4 affiliate players.
 
Watanbe is starting to play really well for the Raptors on a 2-way deal. Fingers crossed they don't convert him and he becomes a UFA this off-season, though that seems unlikely with his emergence in their rotation.

There are always certain guys that stick out at summer league that don’t necessarily put up huge stats. When we get to go you watch so much basketball that when guys stick out a bit it’s memorable. He had a unique name obvi and the announcers kept calling it out funny... anyway he stick out when he played... was pretty impressive. Nunn was another guy that when you watched in that environment he looked like he was a few gears faster than the other guys.

He’s a very nice jack of all trades wing prospect. I’d bet Ujiri locks him up though.
