Jazz sign Jaden Springer

10-day, and no news from homeytennis?

Like this, he's the greatest player to ever get waived over and over. We should continue to have a revolving door of guys come through the end of the season until one sticks and earns a long term, NG contract.

 

[//r00t 4 Jazz]

I remember liking him in the draft out if Tennessee and thought he could be one of those 2nd round steals.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Shooting from the hip, isn’t this who came with KO in the Bogey trade and was immediately waived?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He has absolutely bonkers advanced defensive metrics, namely DBPM, every year he has played.

Nah. He is a wing defender who struggles mightily on offense. He's only 22 and I bet he finds a home.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Springer is Shaq Harrison but maybe still a chance he can improve on offense.

yeah, just turned 22. it would be fun if the jazz were to give him a legit shot.

 

[homeytennis]

He was a first round pick in 2021. That was the draft the Jazz acquired the great Jared Butler. He did score 23 points in a Vegas Summer League game this year. If the Jazz give him some run it will be interesting to see how he compares to some of our young guns. He and Svi were Celts teammates last season.

Springer and Walker Kessler were McDonalds All Americans the same year. NBA Championship in 2025-26.

 

[NAOS_pt2]

quick search:
6'3.0” barefoot, 6'4.25” in shoes 8'3.0” standing reach, 202.0 lbs, and 6'7.75” wingspan at the 2021 NBA Draft Combine

 

[NAOS_pt2]

On the very first day this guy puts on a Jazz jersey, he might become the best ball-screen navigator we've had in 3+ years.

 

[homeytennis]

Springer was MVP of the GLeague championship series in 22-23 and scored 43 points in one game. He was coached by Coby Karl there son of George.

Remember the hype when we got shaq Harrison? For a week there he was going to be our saviour.

 

[Doc Cherno]

6’6” in heels.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Shaq Harrison would have had minutes and chances on this squad with Hardy. Quin killed it on development early on. Once he had his crew he killed development later on. 'Quin was here' is on his tombstone. RIP Shaq 2.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

I didn't watch Springer but constantly read that he looked good with the Celtics but he was too expensive in Boston. Hopefully Hardy unlocks him.

 

[homeytennis]

Springer has a ring so that's something.

 

[idiot]

I kind of want to see @Saint Cy of JFC if Hardy runs Springer and Harkless together for a 5-minute stint (though we'd probably have to be pretty deep into the injuries/resting for that to come to pass).

 

[KqWIN]

He is a very similar prospect to Harkless, but two bites at the apple is better than one. Hopefully one of them figures out the offensive side of the ball and we get them on a Hinkie special. What I find ironic/sad is that we never gave the blueprint for this player (NAW) much of a chance.
