JU's opportunities are going to start narrowing. He's a guy that can play defense, rebound, and shoot the three...at some point he has to make a roster spot. He's just a bit of a tweener...maybe not quick enough to guard a three and not big enough to muscle up with a power 4.
Keep hitting threes...that's a key...everyone wants someone who can knock down threes off the bench.
JU has by far his best game in the summer league. Pistons beat the Pacers 102-84.

Summer league is over for JU and the Pistons.
Out of our 3 Hawks in the summer league, Jarrod seems to have the best chance of making an NBA roster this year. He had a solid performance in Vegas and seems to have his game in a good place. Does that mean it will happen? Who knows.
First he needs to get invited to the Pistons or another team's fall camp. Then he needs to make the roster. Minimum salary for a 3rd year player is $1.1M so the stakes are high.
