The Utah Jazz announced this afternoon that the club has recalled forward Grant Jerrett from their D-Lague affiliate, the Idaho Stampede. The Jazz had one roster spot available after allowing Jerrelle Benimon‘s 10-day contract to expire late last week.

Jerrett started for the Stampede in their last four games, averaging nearly 13 points, nine rebounds, 2.8 assists, one steal and 1.5 blocks per contest. Though he struggled from the field in Idaho’s last game versus the Texas Legends, his footwork and defensive ability were on full display.

The six-foot-ten, 235-pound big man offered his best showing for the Stampede in the club’s bout with the Los Angeles D-Fenders on March 14th. In that game, Jerrett lit up the scoreboard to the tune of 27 points and 11-of-16 from the field, including five bombs from behind the arc.

Jerrett is the third player to be recalled by Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey this week. Combo guard Ian Clark was recalled to Utah just two days ago, as was forward-center Jack Cooley, who inked his second 10-day contract with the Jazz.

The former McDonald’s All-American and Arizona Wildcat was acquired by Utah from the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Enes Kanter/Steve Novak deal. Since his move to Salt Lake City, Jerrett has appeared in only one game for the Jazz.

It is unlikely that Jerrett factors into the team’s rotation this season, but his length and shooting ability are intriguing. If he cannot find his way onto the floor, his value could ultimately come as a trade piece this summer. The team has an option on his contract for next season and could use it in a manner similar to the contracts of Diante Garrett and Malcolm Thomas last offseason.

Per the official announcement, Jerrett will join the team in Los Angeles tonight as the Jazz get set to take on the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center.
