Johnny Juzang signed a Two-polay contract with Utah Jazz, received a salary of half a million US dollars

At dawn this morning, Vietnamese -original player Johnny Juzang - younger brother of Vietnamese basketball player Christian Juzang - was officially signed with a team at NBA.

He became the second Vietnamese player to play in NBA (Johnny's mother was Vietnamese). The first person was Jaylin Williams after this Bigman signed a US $ 8 million contract with Oklahoma City Thunder.

Johnny Juzang will not have a total income and a large contract term like Jaylin Williams (4 years - 8 million dollars), who was chosen at NBA Draft 2022.

Instead, the younger brother of the Vietnamese basketball team will receive about US $ 502,000, the number equivalent to 11.8 billion. This is the ceiling salary of the Two-Way contract in accordance with NBA in the 2022-23 season.

With this special contract, Johnny will mainly play in the G-League for Salt Lake City Star, the team owned by Utah Jazz.

At the same time, Juzang can be called on the first team to play at the NBA but only play up to 50 matches, and are not allowed to play in the playoffs.

To be able to play in the post-season period, Johnny needs to prove his value for Utah Jazz to transfer his Two-Way contract into an official contract.

Johnny Juzang is currently playing for Utah Jazz at the Summer League. However, the performance of the player born in 2001 is not impressive with an average of 8.5 points per game (14-35 FG, 40%) in more than 25 minutes of competition.

Despite being signed, Johnny's eyes will be a very long journey to realize the dream of striding at an official NBA match.
