The Minnesota-born point guard played 12 games for the Pistons’ D League affiliate, somewhat fittingly called the Grand Rapids Drive, at the tail end of the 2014-15 season. Wolters, who was looking for a chance with a third NBA team that year, felt invisible to the Pistons front office executives who would make that decision.
He already has seen general manager Dennis Lindsey at several Stars practices, which are held in the same basketball facility as the Utah Jazz’s. Wolters, who is on a new two-way contract in what is now called the G League, anticipates bouncing between the Stars and Jazz quite a bit, and the transition, he thinks, will be effortless.
