In this year's NBA Draft, former University of North Carolina fifth-year center Armando Bacot ended up being an undrafted player. However, after the draft, Barcott signed a training camp contract with the Utah Jazz that included an Exhibit 10 clause, which means that his contract can be converted to a two-way contract at any time.
Previously, Barcott represented the Jazz in the NBA Summer League, where he played a total of 4 games for the team, averaging 15.7 minutes per game, averaging 7.3 points, 5 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block per game, as well as 2.3 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting 54.5% from the field, 100% from three-point range, and 66.7% from the free throw line. Barcourt had a decent run in the Summer League, showing a good ability to score under the basket despite his limited playing time, and he also showed some ability to protect the basket on the defensive end. And as the season progressed, his overall performance got better and better, and his performance and his self-confidence on the field became more and more prominent.
Born in March 2000, Barcourt is 24 years old, 208cm tall, weighs 111kg, and has an arm span of 216cm. In the NCAA last season, Barkett played a total of 37 games for the team, averaging 30.4 minutes per game, averaging 14.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.5 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers, shooting 54% from the field, 40% from three-point range, and 78.1% from the free throw line. Barcott's performance in the NCAA is still relatively consistent, although the decline in statistics due to the decline in tactical status, he still shows enough competitiveness on both offensive and defensive ends, and he is still an indispensable interior pillar for North Carolina.
The Jazz have a two-way contract left unyielding at the moment, and they have a standard contract spot left on their roster. Bakett still has a chance to attack the position of this two-way contract. However, it may be difficult for Barcourt to get other types of contracts in the short term, after all, the Jazz should be focusing on Lauri Markkanen's contract at the moment. If Markkanen is sent away and the Jazz still have room for the spot, there may be a chance that Bacot could be a potential contender for a two-way contract. After all, Barcott is a very mature meat shield type interior player, and even if his ceiling is not very high, it seems that his lower limit is relatively stable.
