Johnny Juzang Determined To Prove Himself
1 year agoUtah Jazz shooting guard Johnny Juzang is full of motivation after earning another two-way contract from the team. "I've got a lot to show everybody," Juzang told Sarah Todd of The Deseret News. "Look, I mean, I've got a chip on my shoulder. I've always felt like I'm a great player and I've always worked super hard. But a lot of my career, I feel like I've been overlooked and even coming into the NBA and going undrafted, trust me, I don't forget that." The 22-year-old made 18 appearances in the NBA last season, averaging 4.8 points in 12.9 minutes. However, he was a 20-point scorer in the G League and has just wrapped up a good run in the Summer League. The L.A. native averaged 15.8 points with 51.5 percent three-point shooting in six games, adding 3.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists. Juzang faces plenty of competition for playing time in Utah, but he appears to be more than up for the challenge.
