This is great news for Mbeng, who brings defensive intensity to the Jazz on the perimeter. It’s a sign of a couple of things for the Jazz. The first being they are looking to solidify their guard depth. The other being a clear focus on improving defensively. It’s well known that Mbeng was a great defender in college, and it’s clear the Jazz are hoping he can continue to improve as a defensive prospect. As Todd mentions, Summer League will be next for Mbeng, who now has a chance to prove he’s an NBA player. In his short time with the Jazz, the effort is definitely there. The question for Mbeng now is, does the production follow?
