SALT LAKE CITY — If you were tuned in to the local telecast of the Utah Jazz’s home game against the Toronto Raptors on Monday, you probably noticed a new face on the set.
A massive, 6-foot-11, 245-pounder joined AT&T SportsNet for the live broadcast.
Salt Lake City Stars No. 1 pick Willie Reedappeared on the pregame show with host Alema Harrington, Mike Smith and former Jazzman Ron Boone. Then, during the third quarter, he joined award-winning play-by-play broadcaster Craig Bolerjack and retired Jazzman Thurl Bailey on the sidelines while job shadowing the crew.
“Willie didn’t miss a beat,” Bolerjack told the Deseret News.
