UCLA Basketball: Ex-Bruins All American Third Teamer Submits Big Summer League Night

He's still showing potential!

The UCLA Bruins have a ton of their former stars putting on a show in NBA 2K24 Summer League these days and we are rooting for all of them. After they were able to contribute so much during their time with the university, it's amazing to see them being given the opportunity to further their basketball careers.

One former Bruin that is still trying to make a name for himself in the NBA is none other than Johnny Juzang. He played a major role in the squad making their historic run to the Final Four back in the 2021 March Madness Tournament and after going undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft, he signed a contract with the Utah Jazz.

His best time came with their G-League Affiliate as he was able to average 19 points and five rebounds across 17 games and standing at 6'6 with a versatile scoring skillset, the potential is all there. Juzang is a marquee name on the Jazz's Summer League squad this year and he has taken it upon himself to look to score and facilitate whenever he gets time on the floor and he had a great performance recently against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday.

The former UCLA sharpshooter poured in 15 points, three rebounds and three assists.

Utah will be led by the likes of Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler and Jordan Clarkson next season and seeing that they are a much younger team after trading both of their superstars, expectations to win are not very high right now.

Someone like Juzang could definitely find a role within the squad so we look forward to seeing how he continues to develop!
