Rookie Tibor Pleiss gives the Jazz another inside option after strong game

Elijah Milsap, Trey Lyles and Tibor Pleiss, left to right, as the Jazz bench reacts as the Utah Jazz defeat the Denver Nuggets 97-88 in NBA basketball, Friday, Dec. 18, 2015, in Salt Lake City.

Tibor Pleiss, the 7-foot-3 center from Germany, had his best performance by far for the Jazz in Saturday night's win over Memphis and could see more action if Derrick Favors is out.

“I try to help my team and give 100 percent and in the end I’m really happy that we won the game. I’m really happy about the minutes today to take a step forward.
