Juzang 4 year deal

Juzang quietly had an awesome season. Yeah, I know, he played mostly in March-April when many teams tanked... But even if you compare him to other Jazz players: he had the second best defensive rating on the team after only Kessler. Juzang was pretty good on offense too and, as a result, had the 4th best net rating, after only Markkanen , Dunn and Fontecchio (all seasoned veterans). His TS was 62%, which is great for a guard. Finally, he became quite decent at passing and very, very good at not turning the ball over (he was the second best in the TO% behind Markkanen).

Juzang made huge strides compared to the 2022-23 season and could keep getting better. And Johnny is only 23.
 
Low risk, mid-reward type of signing. I'm pretty happy with it. If he solidifies himself as a part of the rotation, this might be one of our good low level contracts.

He definitely has a shot at making the rotation with the roster as currently constructed. I would say it's between him and Brice for the last regular rotation spot.
 
As of right now I would expect our opening night rotation to be:

Sexton Collier
Keyonte Clarkson
Lauri Brice or Juzang
Hendricks
Kessler Collins

I'm guessing Cody and Flip start the year on the Stars.

Feels right. Juzang can pick up minutes behind Lauri and Taylor.

I bet Collins starts (though not sure he starts at the 4 or 5). I also bet that clarkson gets more minutes than Key or Sexton but I do think he comes off the bench.

I hope your lineup is correct though.

I think that the front office is future focused right now and they are likely coming to the conclusion that Collins isn't part of the future or an asset that can increase in value.

I agree. I think the coach and the front office are two different things and haven't always been on the same page though.

I also wouldn't be shocked if it was something like this:
Sexton
Key
Juzang
Lauri
Collins


Or even worse

Key
Clarkson
Juzang
Lauri
Collins

I dont think those lineups will be the ones but I wouldn't be surprised at all. Not even a tiny bit.

At times last season I watched Luka samanic be ahead of Hendricks in the rotation and tht be ahead of sexton.

Nothing would really surprise me much.

I like Juzang. Seems like Fontecchio's replacement. Similar game
Younger, cheaper
How does roster look now. Any contracts left
