His career averages are 6.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 47.7% from the field in 366 games. The Jazz are currently the 13th seed in the Western Conference with an 18-40 record in 58 games. They last made the NBA playoffs in 2022.
All that needs to be seen is how fruitful this decision will be. Only time will tell if Bamba will prove to be an asset.
