Unexpectedly, Kyle Filipowski—a first-round pick who was selected in the second round of the NBA draft—will have a big influence with the Utah Jazz. The Jazz have given Filipowski a four-year, $12 million contract, indicating their conviction in his potential and matching his pay with that of a No. 22 pick, despite his draft position. This contract represents the most for a second-round player in recent memory, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks, underscoring the Jazz's dedication to their acquisition.
Specifics of the Contract and Player Potential
For the first two years of the contract, there are complete guarantees; the third year is non-guaranteed, and the fourth year is a team option. Jazz's flexibility and faith in Filipowski's development are evident in this arrangement. Known for his ability to stretch big plays, Filipowski demonstrated a great deal of promise in the Summer League. He had a slow start and scored few points, but he soon settled into a groove and finished with two games in which he scored 20 and 26 points, respectively, along with some noteworthy rebounds. His capacity to change and advance throughout the Summer League shows that he will advance and make a significant contribution to the Jazz's squad going forward.
Filipowski's Fit With The Jazz
Filipowski's skill set fits very nicely with how the NBA is changing. His ability to handle the ball well, play strong defense, and shoot from beyond the arc makes him a tremendous asset. But he'll have to fight for frontcourt time with both young guns like Taylor Hendricks and Brice Sensabaugh and more seasoned players like John Collins, Walker Kessler, and Drew Eubanks. The Jazz's choice to sign Filipowski is indicative of their approach to combine established players with up-and-coming talent, which will allow Filipowski to develop into a key member of the squad.
