UPDATE: Huertas has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, per Adrian Wojnarowski.

With Dante Exum expected to miss the entirety of the 2015-16 NBA season for the Utah Jazz, much has been made of the team’s point guard situation. Although Trey Burke, Raul Neto and Bryce Cotton remain on the roster, discussion abounds that the team could be in the market for a veteran to fill the void.

In early August, it was reported that the Jazz pursued Jason Terry before his decision to re-sign with the Houston Rockets. Miami Heat point-man Mario Chalmers has also been rumored as a potential trade option. Now, a new name has surfaced in Utah’s possible bid for a new floor general–Brazilian guard Marcelinho Huertas–

According to David Pick of Basketball Insiders, the Jazz are still weighing their options at the point and could make a play for the former FC Barcelona guard. After seemingly agreeing to terms with Turkish club Galatasaray S.K. in recent weeks, Huertas reportedly asked for more time to consider NBA opportunities.

The 32-year-old Huertas has spent the last several years with Spanish power FC Barcelona, where he teamed with current Jazzman Tibor Pleiss and Jazz draftee Ante Tomic. He has also appeared in more than 60 games for the Brazilian national team and shared the backcourt with another Jazz player in Raul Neto.

In discussing his NBA aspirations with Yahoo Sports, Huertas told Adrian Wojnarowski that Pablo Prigioni stands out as a possible player comparison for himself–

“Prigioni is the guy most likely to get compared to me, because our career trajectory had been similar in Europe. And like him, I can run a team without worrying about scoring.”

In 44 games in the Spanish ACB League last season, Huertas averaged eight points and 4.3 assists per game, while shooting 35.6 percent from three-point range and 84 percent from the line. His numbers in Barca’s 26 Euroleague contests nearly mirror his ACB production.

Also, he can do this–

While the Jazz training camp roster is currently full at 20, the team still has options to create a spot for Huertas. The Jazz have several players with low or partially guaranteed contracts that could be moved or waived. Injured big man Grant Jerrett could also be released.
