Jazz Sign JJ O'Brien on a 10 Day Contract

Remember him playing for the Jazz in Summer league. Based on his D League stats he's a worse shooter than Elijah.

On the bright side O'brien is good at nothing at all and the fans won't get sucked into some stupid false hope. Right?

Plus he might make Chris Johnson look better.

Even for a 10 day contract this feels like one of the more underwhelming contracts ever.

Maybe that means he'll actually do something.

Recent highlights of JJ. His mechanics remind me of Lyles.

Who's he again?

With a name like O'Brien, I wonder if it's as simple as the Jazz forgot he's not white?

I thought the same thing when The Jazz signed him for the Summer League.

1993 all over again - just without the W's.

Might be the most underwhelming 10 day contract ever.

I'd rather take a chance on a shooter that's worthless at everything else. Oh well.

What's Morris Almond up to? Jon Diebler? Oh wait, I don't care.

Diebler is a fan favorite here in turkey. There are chants dedicated to him

Can we sign Dylan Murphy as well?

Not sure why but J.J. O'Brien looks like he stepped off the set of Mad TV.

Nope, that skill is not part of the Jazz DNA.

This is a typical DL move. He and QS have talked about internal development, wanting to let guys know they'll invest in them. So O'Brien has likely worked hard in Idaho and kept his nose clean (no chasing those BYU Idaho coeds). So they call him up for 10-days and double his salary for the year (isn't 10 days at the NBA minimum about what a player makes in a year in the DLeague)? Expect him to sign another 10-day and then we'll see Graham. And only a matter of time before that amazing 1st-round DLeague pick gets some burn. Ayres is going to be the Jazz' secret weapon in the playoffs against the Warriors.
