In his most recent season, Jock Landale made 42 appearances with the Houston Rockets. With a field goal percentage of 53.3%, he added 4.8 points and 3.3 boards a game on average.
The Memphis Grizzlies have reportedly reached an agreement with Landale, according ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Charania reports: “Jock Landale solidifies the Grizzlies frontcourt as the team and his agent, Sammy Wloszczowski of SIG Sports, reach terms.”
In his four-year NBA career, Landale has split time between the Rockets, Suns, and Spurs. In 221 games played, he shot 51.8% from the field and averaged 5.4 points, 3.3 boards, and 1.0 assists per game.
“Jock Landale fills the need for minutes at centre with Zach Edey and Jaren Jackson Jr. dealing with injuries,” said Damichael Cole of Commercial Appeal.
As a result, Memphis gains a starting centre who has also contributed significantly to winning teams.
Right before Charania announced the news of the Grizzlies signing Landale, he reported that they had traded Jay Huff to the Indiana Pacers.
Via Charania; “After departure of Myles Turner, Pacers trade for the 7-foot-1 Jay Huff, who averaged 6.9 points, 2 rebounds and nearly 1 block in 11.7 minutes per night. He shot 41% from 3-point range last season, playing in 64 games after just a total of 31 contests in his first three seasons.”
