Juzang played his first three NBA seasons in Utah and averaged 8.9 points and 38% 3-point shooting in 19.8 minutes per game in 2024-25.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/1951274236951110069?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 1, 2025<\/a><a class=\"tagStyle_1bmarg5-o_O-style_vtaf6x\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/timberwolves\/minnesota-timberwolves-news\/former-timberwolves-executive-reportedly-named-president-of-mavericks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Related: Former Timberwolves executive reportedly named president of Mavericks<br \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_josp9bele\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_o50izerej\">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. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_90un4i2g4\">Standing at 6-foot-5, he&#8217;s a career 36.3% three-point shooter on 4.5 attempts per game. He&#8217;s only 24 years old, and it&#8217;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&#8217;s final roster spot at training camp this fall.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Timberwolves have agreed to a one-year deal with free agent Johnny Juzang, according to Shams Charania.
