He has also played in the Development League this year, specifically in the Capital City Go-Go, a team affiliated with the Washington Wizards. His numbers with them have risen to 16.2 points, 5.3 assists and 2.6 steals per game.
The Jazz had only 12 standard-contract players on their roster after cutting Russell Westbrook and Leandro Bolmaro, so they had until March 2 to meet the NBA’s minimum 14-contract quota.
