If the Utah Jazz make some sort of signing or acquisition that appears out of the blue, under the radar or downright insignificant, it should cause some eyebrows to perk up. While some may view such moves as inconsequential, the likes of Joe Ingles, Royce O’Neale and even late first-round pick Rudy Gobert who was traded for mere cash considerations should prove otherwise.
This offseason, the Jazz made yet another unforeseen addition when they signed former George Washington University product Tyler Cavanaugh to a two-way contract. Many believed that the Jazz would award their second two-way contract to Stanton Kidd who was a standout in the Summer League, so when it instead went to Cavanaugh, who wasn’t on the Jazz summer roster, it was a bit of a surprise.
