Jazz add to roster with D-League in mind

The Utah Jazz made two more moves Sunday as the team continues to build its D-League roster in Idaho.

Point guard Phil Pressey, who spent training camp with the Portland Trail Blazers, was claimed off waivers and former Notre Dame point guard Eric Atkins was signed. Both players are expected to soon be waived, clearing the way for them to join the Idaho Stampede.

Pressey spent the last two seasons in Boston, where he averaged 3.1 points and 2.9 assists per game. Atkins spent last season in Greece, where he averaged 7 points and 2.9 assists per game.

The Jazz made a similar move last week when they signed forward E.J. Singler in order to secure his D-League rights and waived him a day later.
