Utah Jazz sign three free-agent deals following NBA Draft

Undrafted UCLA prospect Johnny Juzang agreed to a two-way deal with the Utah Jazz late last night after the draft. The 6-foot-6 guard played two seasons for the Bruins after a short time with the Kentucky Wildcats where he struggled to see the floor as a freshman.

After transferring to UCLA as a sophomore, Juzang lead the Bruins to an NCAA tournament Final Four appearance and in his junior year earned first-team All-Pac 12 honors, averaging 15.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game while shooting 43.2% from the floor.
