The Utah Jazz are planning to sign former Rockets first-round pick Josh Christopher to a two-way NBA deal, sources tell @ShamsCharania and @Tjonesonthenba. The guard averaged 7 points and 15.4 minutes across two seasons in Houston.

Not sure how to feel about this one. I’ll have to look into him a bit. His brother played like 4 games for us years ago
Thank goodness they signed another guard.
Did a quick dive on him:
6’5 shooting guard, pick 24 in 2021 by the Rockets. Cut after being part of the Brooks trade
Bad 3 point shooter, known since college, sub 30% in the NBA
Decent inside the arc
75% from the line
Not a ball distributor **Noted in his draft profile is he gets tunnel vision on offense and just looks for his own shot/fails to get the team involved/bad court vision
Not grabbing a lot of rebounds
Defense is hard to gauge off of statistics, maybe he’s good at defense, but nothing stands out anywhere and it isn’t mentioned as a strength or weakness in the few draft profiles I reviewed.
