After the Utah Jazz dealt for Mike Conley, a whole new world of possibilities opened up for the team in terms of building a roster that could compete for an NBA title. In the wake of the trade, I pinpointed veteran Mike Scott as a player with Jazz DNA who could contribute to that cause.
On Wednesday, the Jazz reportedly agreed to a contract with Mike Scott — just not that Mike Scott. You can all breathe a sigh of relief, Sixers fans.
Per Nicola Lupo of Sportando and The Athletic’s Tony Jones, the Jazz will sign former Idaho Vandals point-man Mike Scott, who has played in Lithuania, Croatia and, most recently, Poland since going undrafted in 2015.
