Sportando: Stanton Kidd expected to sign with the Jazz

candrew said:
His ability to hit 3's off the dribble is impressive. He could be deadly from long range in a Jazz offense that can generate open looks for him.

Or he can just be one of those guys in their mid 20's playing over his head in the SL because he's going against guys 4 or 5 years younger than him with a lot less experience.

I guess we'll know soon enough.

I think Royce was 24 or 25 when he got his deal. I'm guessing 2-way deal personally, but it's not unheard of for the club if that's the case.
 
Like this move. I didn’t know anything about Kidd when I went to the Atlanta game in SLC so I was surprised when he “popped out”. In that game it was clear he is an NBA level athlete. I have been focused on him since then and I Have been impressed with his shot and motor. I expect he plays more than Georges (you can’t have too many wings in today’s NBA).
 
no doubt in my mind it’s a 2 way deal. He’s completely unproven other then the fact that the jazz liked what they saw in SL. it’s not like there are any mins available for him in the rotation. The logical step is to put him on the GLeague team for an extended look.

That was after training camp and pre-season. Kidd looks like a good shooter, probably a better shooter than Crowder, and he has good size for a wing. He's an adequate athlete for the league.

Kidd's best trait is athleticism.

Royce O'Neale way way more unproven. Both were important role players for Eurocup teams(Kidd's team won the championship this year)


Royce had a bad SL for a different team and the Jazz still gave him a guaranteed contract.

Because it fully makes sense to assume a guy making European money will take a huge pay cut to sign a two way deal...

I think the roster is much better then a year ago when everyone thought this roster would take a step back. I also think that management has a better feel for the roster then a year ago, plus I don’t see him getting a spot over Niang.

I wouldn't be surprised if its a guaranteed contract like Royce's. Before this news came out I would have said I would be surprised to hear Kidd signed a 2 way deal. He was probably on track to start earning serious money overseas.
