The 2015 All-American and former Iowa Hawkeye Jarrod Uthoff has taken an interesting path since graduating. Reports surfaced that Uthoff asked teams at the end of the draft not to select him because he didn’t want to be a D-League stash, in hopes of making an NBA roster.
Uthoff caught on with the Sacramento Kings summer league team. He appeared in four games, averaging 4.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and one block in 17.3 minutes per game. It wasn’t enough to make the training camp roster, though, as Uthoff eventually chose to sign with the Toronto Raptors.
