Great news for a real Bulldog fan favorite. After tearing it up in the NBA Development League, Sundiata Gaines will reportedly sign with the Utah Jazz.

Utah Jazz general manager Kevin O’Connor announced today that the team will sign former Bulldog Sundiata Gaines, who now plays for the NBA Development League’s Idaho Stampede, to a 10-day contract pending the outcome of a successful physical on Wednesday.

Hopefully the 10-day contract will be extended and he’ll stick in the league. I can’t think of anyone who put in more effort during some dismal years in Athens, and he deserves this break.
