{"id":590049,"date":"2026-02-08T07:26:18","date_gmt":"2026-02-08T07:26:18","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/590049\/"},"modified":"2026-02-08T07:26:18","modified_gmt":"2026-02-08T07:26:18","slug":"utah-jazz-sign-intriguing-player-to-two-way-deal","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/590049\/","title":{"rendered":"Utah Jazz sign intriguing player to two-way deal"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz have signed Blake Hinson to a two-way deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In the 2025-26 G-League season, Hinson is averaging 21.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists while shooting 44.1% from the field and 32.5% from three.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Probably the most interesting thing about this signing is Hinson\u2019s size. He stands 6\u20198\u201d with a 6\u201910.25\u201d wingspan. Those are great numbers for a player who\u2019s doing nice things in the G-League. These types of signings are smart because you never know when a player like this can work his way into your rotation. And it becomes more and more likely when you\u2019re adding players with top-tier tools. We\u2019ll see how Hinson does and whether he can earn a standard contract. It would be nice if Utah was able to find more talent in the G-League as they move towards contention next season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s also a reminder that the Jazz are looking for players with size and length. The Jazz are looking huge with the Signing of Jaren Jackson Jr., and this type of signing seems to fit with the Jazz\u2019s teambuilding philosophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz have signed Blake Hinson to a two-way deal.
