We\u2019ll see if he continues to get 10-day contracts but it wouldn\u2019t be surprising, he\u2019s fit in well with what the Jazz are doing and brings a defense-first mindset the team needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This does make you think that Utah wants him in their system. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this means Utah has him on the upcoming summer league team and maybe at training camp. If Mbeng can improve his game enough, he might be able to earn a potential two-way contract next season. Whatever happens, you can tell that Mbeng is playing his heart out and is realizing a dram of playing in the NBA. What would be even more cool is that he plays his way into a contract. We\u2019ll see if that eventually happens but this is a good first step towards that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to the Utah Jazz, they\u2019ve signed Bez Mbang to a second 10-day contract.
