Heading into the summer months, I didn’t expect to be covering Iowa basketball players in the Las Vegas Summer Leauge, but here we are, and there isn’t just one Hawkeye, there’s two.
Jarrod Uthoff will be playing for the Detroit Pistons while Tyler Cook will be playing for the Denver Nuggets after signing with the team after going undrafted in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Uthoff has had stints in the NBA G-League and the actual NBA but spent the past year overseas playing for Zenit Saint Petersburg. Uthoff will be the second oldest player on the Detroit Pistons 28-year old point guard Will Cherry.
