But theoretically, Juzang is a quality shooter and scorer who also rebounds and defends at a good enough level.

Juzang had a terrific collegiate career with incredibly memorable playoff moments, but didn’t really develop much at all between his sophomore and junior seasons. To be honest, he just looks like another guy at this level. And he’s played reasonable enough defense, but he’s not really getting steals or blocks out there. He’s averaging just under five rebounds per game - good, but not a menace. He’s averaged 10 points per game in his five summer league games, shooting a combined 11-33 from the field. The first is Xavier Sneed, who the Jazz picked up in the middle of the season last year. To be sure, there are two of them on two-way contracts. None of them, though, have really taken hold of that opportunity to really make a claim that they should make the final roster. So there’s an opportunity here for the wings on this Jazz roster to impress and make a case for themselves. Other than that? Well, there are a whole lotta guards.

It’s no secret that the Jazz’s current roster is really short on wings. He still has two more years on his contract, and will need to smooth out that shot in order to get another one. Unlike Butler, he fights for everything: fights for rebounds, fights on the ball defensively, rotates well.īut without the shot, then he’s not good enough to be an NBA rotation player, and arguably not a deep bench one, either.

He’s both a flashy and responsible passer, who makes good reads and uses flair to make those windows even more open. It’s a bummer, because I do think he’s a fun player if he ever did get the shot. He did have a corner make today, a perfect swish, but among several other attempts. Open corner and wing threes are finishing a foot short of the center of the hoop, clanking down rather than up off the rim. I do think his jumper looks decently fluid at the moment, but it’s not really close to consistently going in. There are some quirks in his jumper, especially in his wrist, that need to be ironed out.” As The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor put it in his 2020 draft guide, “Without a reliable jumper, most of his strengths are moot. The shot was the thing that draftniks were worried about from Bolmaro. Furthermore, 2-13 from 3-point range, or 15%, is pretty ugly too. He’s now just 9-37 from the field combined in his three games: a paltry 24%. He doesn’t have the pro-level experience that Bolmaro does.īut Bolmaro, to be honest, hasn’t been great in summer league. I get that Jared Butler had a lot of hype locally, and that he was a huge collegiate success - but he was also a second round pick. Finally, he even played four games in the Olympics with the Argentinian national team. He’s 21, so pretty young, but he also has two years of experience at Barcelona, one of the biggest clubs in Europe. He played in 35 games last season for the Timberwolves, starting two of them. He’s the 23rd pick of the 2020 NBA Draft. There’s a case Leandro Bolmaro should be the Jazz’s best summer league player.
