What is the story about?

According to the Utah Jazz, they’ve signed Bez Mbang to a second 10-day contract.

Mbeng has been a fun story for the Jazz as he’s provided nice defense and great energy while he’s been on the floor. We’ll see if he continues to get 10-day contracts but it wouldn’t be surprising, he’s fit in well with what the Jazz are doing and brings a defense-first mindset the team needs.

This does make you think that Utah

wants him in their system. I wouldn’t be surprised if this means Utah has him on the upcoming summer league team and maybe at training camp. If Mbeng can improve his game enough, he might be able to earn a potential two-way contract next season. Whatever happens, you can tell that Mbeng is playing his heart out and is realizing a dram of playing in the NBA. What would be even more cool is that he plays his way into a contract. We’ll see if that eventually happens but this is a good first step towards that.
