Given the results the Jazz saw from his work with Rudy Gobert, assistant coach Alex Jensen figures to be a big part of Tibor Pleiss’ development. And he’ll have a a hand in it even if the 7-footer doesn’t make the move to Utah this summer.
When the EuroBasket competition tips off later this summer, Jensen will be a part of the German national team’s coaching staff. So with Pleiss in Salt Lake City this week, working out at the Jazz practice facility while the negotiations over his move from Barcelona continue, Jensen took the opportunity to get acquainted.
