Jeff Withey, a 7-foot center from Kansas who played for the New Orleans Pelicans the past two seasons, has looked good for the Jazz during fall camp as a backup to Rudy Gobert.
“I know my role right now, the coach has made it pretty clear. Just being that guy that blocks shots, patrols around the paint, rebounds and gives Rudy a break when he needs a rest. It could definitely expand during the year. Right now, I’m happy with that.”
SALT LAKE CITY — Not many people paid much attention when the Utah Jazz signed Jeff Withey to a non-guaranteed contract back in August.
