RJ Luis signs Two-Way Deal with Jazz
RJ Luis – Wing – St John’s
18.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists – .439/.336/.747
Luis joins the Jazz after a productive three-year college career, which began at the University of Massachusetts before transferring to St. John’s for his sophomore and junior seasons.
In his final season at St. John’s, Luis averaged 18.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists while shooting 44 percent from the floor and 34 percent from the three-point line.
Luis, 22, had strong athletic testing numbers during the NBA Combine, recording a 38-inch vertical, as well as excellent times in the shuttle and three-quarter court sprint, but struggled during the Combine games.

The wing averaged 14.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in the two scrimmages, but shot just 9-29 from the floor, including 3-10 from the three-point line.
The Miami native is a strong rebounder for a perimeter player, but will need to improve his three-point shooting numbers in order to stick in the NBA.

The Jazz had two open two-way spots with the expiration of deals for Micah Potter and Oscar Tshiebwe.
Potter is entering his fifth season of NBA service and is no longer eligible to sign a two-way contract. Tshiebwe is eligible to sign a second two-way deal with the Jazz and has remained with the team during the offseason.
Players on two-way contracts are eligible to split time between the NBA and the G League, but cannot compete in the postseason play. Teams may carry three two-way contracts at any one time during the regular season.
