Klay Thompson remains well established in the NBA and Aron Baynes is entering his third year with the San Antonio Spurs. They may be joined by a third WSU product with Brock Motum looking likely to make the Utah Jazz 15-man roster.
Motum signed with the Jazz after impressing during the NBA Summer League. He has apparently continued to impress. The Jazz released a pair of players on Wednesday, including NBA veteran Dahntay Jones. That brings the Jazz roster to 15 players, the maximum allowed by the NBA. Motum isn't a lock to stick yet, as the Jazz could make more moves, but so far so good. Motum and Toure' Murry don't have fully guaranteed contracts, making them vulnerable to release if the Jazz should make another move.
Motum only appeared in one preseason game, scoring seven points and pulling down two rebounds in 10 minutes. If he sticks, there would be three WSU products in the NBA and all in the Western Conference. There is a chance, in a blowout, we could see Motum and Baynes match up head-to-head.
