Filipowski agreed to a four-year, $12 million contract with the Jazz on Monday, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a generous deal for Filipowski, who took a risk by playing in Summer League without putting pen to paper on a contract after he was selected in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. Marks notes that this is the largest contract for a player selected in the second round of the draft in the last two years. With contract negotiations now in the rearview mirror, the big man can set his sights on earning a spot in Utah's rotation, which could prove challenging behind Taylor Hendricks (personal), Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) and John Collins (back).

Filipowski recorded 26 points (8-22 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's Summer League finale against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Filipowski impressed in Utah's final game at Summer League, posting game-highs in points and rebounds. After a productive showing in the Summer League, Filipowski turns his sights to the regular season. The Duke product will likely have to earn his playing time to begin the season, but he could carve out a role alongside Lauri Markkanen and Taylor Hendricks as the season progresses.

Filipowski submitted 20 points (9-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three steals and a block during 26 minutes of Wednesday's 86-76 win over the Raptors in Summer League.
EDGE Analysis
Filipowski has been a standout performer for the Jazz in Las Vegas, averaging 14.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 combined steals-plus-blocks in three games played. The seven-footer has also knocked down three of his six attempts from distance. While Filipowski is better fit to play the five, he could see most of his action in 2024-25 at the power forward spot considering the Jazz's center depth.
