The Utah Jazz are bringing back a former player who played sparingly in his first stint with the team. On Saturday, the Jazz announced that they have signed forward Jarrell Brantley to a 10-day contract. The move was made at least in part because the Jazz had to fill a roster spot after not renewing the 10-day contract of guard Frank Jackson (another player who has filled two 10-day deals, Kris Dunn, was signed for the remainder of the season earlier this week).

Nice! Hardy might actually use him too!

He has the tools to be a versatile player, but on a team that was in win-now mode, Brantley didn’t get much playing time.

more to do with a coach that refused to make adjustments. If he'd played Brantley or Tucker just 5 minutes on Jamal Murray instead of Clarkson and Mitchell they win that series

Playing for the New Zealand Breakers of the Australia-based NBL this season, Brantley has averaged 15.7 points, 6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 steals in 28.7 minutes per contest over 39 games (all starts).

how did he shoot?

How’s life in Utah? Ochai Agbaji: It’s great. I think Utah has the best fans in the NBA. They show up, no matter if it’s a Monday night or Wednesday night. They’re there, and it seems like it’s sold out every night, loud, packed, and they’re supporting us, no matter what, whether we have new players in or players got traded away. They’re still there to support us no matter what. It’s all love that you feel, for sure.

have you had one on Monday? Jazz don't usually play home games on Sunday or Monday. It's why they usually have a tougher schedule than everyone else

Will the Utah Jazz look for a point guard in the upcoming NBA draft?

I'm sure Ainge will go for BPA but with Sexton, Lauri, Kessler and Agbaji wings seem like where they need to look first

The reality is this offseason has a chance to be a very active one for the Jazz. With three draft picks and a large amount of cap space, the Jazz are bound to be an active team. Will they look to find a big player in free agency to pair with Markkanen? Will they find a way to trade for a player into their cap space? Will they use their cap space to help another team shed contracts for draft picks? There are a ton of options for the Jazz, but one thing you can count on is the Jazz will be looking for a point guard this offseason to pair with Ochai Agbaji, Lauri Markkanen, and Walker Kessler.

I'd think a vet pg is more of a need

Brantley is coming off an incredible season playing in Australia’s NBL where he shot 40% from deep and averaged 16.4 points and five rebounds per game. It’s clear that he has gotten better and it’s good to see him at least having the chance to once again audition for a chance in the NBA.

he was good before. Played well the couple of time COTM gave him a shot
