After begining his college career at Kentucky, Juzang developed into a star at UCLA. He led the Bruins to the Final Four in 2021 as an 11-seed, and he averaged over 15 points per game in his two seasons with the Bruins. He surprisingly went undrafted in 2022, but caught on with the Utah Jazz.
He has played 102 games over three seasons in Utah, and he most recently averaged 8.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in 2024-25. He started 18 games and averaged 19.8 minutes per game.
Standing at 6-foot-5, he’s a career 36.3% three-point shooter on 4.5 attempts per game. He’s only 24 years old, and it’s a low-risk, one-year deal for the Wolves. Reports indicate that the contract is not guaranteed, and Juzang will have an opportunity to compete for Minnesota’s final roster spot at training camp this fall.
