NBA Free Agency: 3 Players the Utah Jazz are currently targeting

#3 Thaddeus Young

Thaddeus Young has been mooted as a potential replacement for Derrick Favors

Thaddeus Young may not be among the most exciting names to hit free agency, although the 31-year-old has quietly put together a successful career. During his decade in the NBA, Young has averaged 13.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game and the veteran is coming off a season in which he shot 52% from the field.

With efficient shooters in demand more than ever before, Tony Jones of The Athletic is reporting that Utah are among a number of teams interested in signing Young.

Young has earned $54 million over the past four seasons, but should be available on a cheaper deal this summer. Jones' report highlights that the Jazz will face plenty of competition to land Young, although the franchise will be able to offer the New Orleans native a prominent role in the frontcourt.
