Utah Jazz (Russell Isabella-USA TODAY Sports)
The Utah Jazz have waived forward Jarrell Brantley. The team announced their decision via press release yesterday.
A versatile, athletically gifted 6’7, 250-pound combo forward on paper, Brantley was never able to make a significant impact on the Jazz. In two seasons with the club, he averaged 2.4 points and 1.3 rebounds.
Still, there have always been reasons for hope with the 25-year-old Charleston product. His per 36 averages from 2020-21 certainly read like a player with potential’s: 16.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.8 steals last season.
