Signing a training camp contract with the Jazz, may the former Magic Lotto show have to switch to the Development League?

According to the news of American media HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, Mohamed Bamba, who was previously in free agency, has reached an agreement with the Utah Jazz. The Jazz officials later confirmed the news. Although the details of the contract have not been disclosed, considering that the Jazz's lineup already have 15 players holding standard guarantee contracts, Bamba may have received a training camp contract containing Exhibit 9 or (and) Exhibit 10, and he needs to win a place to stay for himself through the next training camp and preseason.

Bamba was born in May 1998 and is 27 years old, 213cm tall and weighs 104kg. He is an inside player from the University of Texas in the 2018 NBA Draft. Bamba has played in the NBA field for the Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Los Angeles Clippers and the New Orleans Pelicans. Bamba has a very high draft pick, he also has top physical talent, and he is also highly expected by everyone. However, his performance in the NBA are not ideal. He actually got a lot of opportunities in the Magic, but he still couldn't show his potential.

Bamba played 32 times in the NBA regular season last season with the Clippers and the Pelicans, averaging 12.8 minutes per game, with averaging 4.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.3 steals and 1 block, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 27.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 70.4%. Bamba's performance last season was extremely disappointing. Whether in the Clippers or the Pelicans, his overall performance lacked highlights, and he really couldn't play a good effect on the court. It is also because of his poor performance that Bamba has never been able to win a contract for himself and has been in a free agent state. According to previous news, the Serbian giants Belgrade guerrillas are very interested in Bamba, and there are also reports that CBA teams are also interested in Bamba, but it seems that the final deal is not formed, so Bamba still hopes to find opportunities in the NBA arena.

However, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Bamba wants to stay in the Jazz. Previously, the Jazz's NBA Development League team Salt Lake City Star completed a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans' Birmingham Squadron. The Jazz sent the NBA Development League ownership of Isaiah Wong and Keshawn Justice to the Birmingham Squadron, and exchanged Bamba's NBA Development League ownership from the Birmingham Squadron. It seems that this once highly-watched high-couple lottery pick is likely to need to start his new season in the NBA Development League. I don’t know if Bamba can seize the opportunity to play his own characteristics in the NBA Development League field and attract the attention of NBA teams.
