Boston College Basketball: Olivier Hanlan’s Rights Traded to San Antonio

The Utah Jazz traded the draft rights to former Boston College guard Olivier Hanlan on Tuesday, dealing him to the San Antonio Spurs in a move sending Boris Diaw to Salt Lake City.

The trade clears the $7 million salary owed to Diaw so they have enough cap space to sign former Chicago Bulls forward/center Pau Gasol.

Hanlan played last season with Zalgiris Kaunas of the Lithuanian Basketball League but is currently unsigned after the expiration of his one year contract. In 24 games, he shot 38.5% from the floor, including 35.9% from beyond the arc. He averaged eight points per game in just over 20 minutes per appearance, earning three starts along the way.
