Jazz make Bufkin two-way deal official and waive Hinson

The Jazz made Kobe Bufkin's two-way deal official on October 24 and waived forward Blake Hinson to open the slot. Bufkin, 23, has played only 43 games across three NBA seasons, averaging 4.2 points and 1.3 assists in 10.2 minutes. The one-year deal allows up to 50 games and a prorated $674,980.

O Jazz oficializou o contrato two-way de Kobe Bufkin em 24 de outubro, confirmou a equipe em comunicado.

O Utah não tinha vaga two-way aberta, então alguém precisava sair. Blake Hinson é o ala dispensado para abrir espaço, segundo Michael Scotto, do HoopsHype.

A notícia do acordo havia surgido em 21 de outubro, três dias antes, quando Jake Fischer, do Bleacher Report e do The Stein Line, reportou que Bufkin assinaria depois de ser dispensado pelo New Orleans. Ele atuou em apenas 43 jogos em três temporadas da NBA, enfrentando lesões por dois anos em Atlanta antes de uma passagem pelos Lakers que terminou em dispensa em abril. Um contrato de campo Exhibit 9 em julho com os Pelicans nunca virou lugar no elenco da temporada regular.

Aos 23 anos, sua produção na NBA tem sido modesta: 4,2 pontos, 1,6 rebote e 1,3 assistência em 10,2 minutos por noite, com 35,4%/21,2%/73,7% nos arremessos. O armador de 6 pés e 4 polegadas, porém, teve uma grande temporada na G League com o South Bay, com médias de 24,8 pontos, 4,1 assistências e 4,0 rebotes em 50,7%/42,3%/89,5% em 24 jogos (32,5 minutos), números que o levaram ao segundo time da All-NBAGL.

Hinson, de 26 anos, foi bem em uma amostra limitada pelo Utah na temporada passada, contribuindo com 11,9 pontos em 51,3%/46,8%/75,0% em 14 jogos (20,4 minutos). O ala de 6 pés e 8 polegadas também foi produtivo na G League, com 23,5 pontos e 48,2%/37,0%/69,1% em 32 jogos divididos entre Salt Lake City Stars e Rip City Remix.

Como esta é a última temporada de elegibilidade two-way de Bufkin, o novo acordo cobre um único ano. Ele teria direito a até 50 jogos da temporada regular e ganharia 674.980 dólares proporcionais, desde que ainda esteja sob contrato quando a data de garantia salarial da liga chegar, em janeiro.

Hinson, por sua vez, se tornaria agente livre irrestrito na sexta-feira, desde que seja colocado na lista de dispensas hoje e ninguém o reivindique.
