Isaiah Wong will join the Jazz for training camp on an Exhibit 10 contract, agent Darrel Comer of Tandem tells Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
The 23-year-old shooting guard spent last season as a two-way player with the Pacers. He made just one brief NBA appearance, but he averaged 14.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 30 regular season games with the team’s G League affiliate.
Wong was selected with the 55th pick in the 2023 draft after four seasons at Miami, Florida, where he was named ACC Player of the Year in 2023. He was chosen to participate in the G League Invitational tournament earlier this month, and he took part in the Next Up Game at All-Star Weekend.
The Exhibit 10 contract gives Wong an opportunity to earn a bonus of up to $77.5K if he’s waived by Utah and spends at least 60 days with the franchise’s G League team.
The Jazz are already at the 21-player limit for their preseason roster, so another move will be necessary before Wong’s contract can be finalized.
IW looks pretty athletic. Seems to know how to pick his spots. I like his patience with the ball.
The only question then becomes who does he bump for the camp roster? The Jazz were already at the 21 player max.
Astute pickup! Great add for the Jazz!
