When Utah Jazz decision-makers Dennis Lindsey, Justin Zanik and David Morway were working the phones to acquire multiple picks at the end of the 2019 NBA Draft, they weren’t doing it for kicks. Utah’s brain trust was looking for players who could compete for roster spots and factor into the team’s plans as early as next season.
After the last couple days, I think it’s safe to say that all three of the Jazz’s second-rounders — Miye Oni, Justin Wright-Foreman and Jarrell Brantley — are right on schedule in that regard.
Sporting the look of a potential 3-and-D specialist during summer league, Oni was the first domino to fall, officially signing a deal with the club on Monday.
