Utah Jazz fans haven’t witnessed a lot of Johnny Juzang but they will have many more chances to see what he’s made of over the next several years.
According to Michael Scotto, the Jazz have signed Juzang to a four-year, $11.43 million deal.
The deal is fully guaranteed for the upcoming season but the rest of the contract is non-guaranteed.
The Jazz clearly want to hold onto Juzang and see how he can develop and this inexpensive contract gives them a chance to do that.

Last season, Juzang averaged 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists on 46.4% from the field and 41.6% from the three-point line.
He has been tied to the Jazz for his two NBA seasons although he has spent a lot of time with their G League affiliate team, the Salt Lake City Stars.
As the latest season came to an end, Juzang got more time with the Jazz but he only appeared in 20 games for Utah in 2023-24.
Will he get more time on the court in 2024-25 and beyond?
It’s not entirely clear because the Jazz have a lot of big plans and irons in the fire right now.
They have a ton of cap space and a plethora of draft picks and capital that they could move around the league in order to get better.
Aside from Lauri Markkanen, just about anyone on the roster could be on the trading block as the Jazz attempt to break back into playoff contention.
Therefore, Juzang might stick around with the Jazz, or could move back down to the G League, or might be traded away.
