The Utah Jazz are signing guard Bez Mbeng to a two-year contract, according to Jason Tranos of Priority Sports via ESPN. The agreement secures a long-term roster spot for the undrafted guard following a successful evaluation period with the team.
Mbeng, a standout product out of Yale, earns the full NBA deal after completing two consecutive 10-day contracts with the Jazz. His transition from short-term status to a multi-year commitment highlights the organization's interest in his development within their backcourt rotation.
During his collegiate career at Yale, Mbeng established himself as a premier perimeter defender, earning Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year honors. By signing him to a two-year deal, the Utah Jazz continue their trend of identifying and investing in undrafted talent as they build out their young core.
