Pleiss saw 10 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's preseason tilt against the Lakers in Hawaii.

EDGE Analysis

Pleiss is in line for a role off the bench behind Rudy Gobert this coming season after signing a multi-year deal with the Jazz in the offseason. As a result, he'll likely begin the season on the waiver wire in the majority of standard leagues.

Pleiss signed a multi-year deal with the Jazz. Per team rules, the exact numbers were not released by the Jazz. The team earned the rights to Pleiss during the 2010 NBA Draft and was able to move to the United States after his contract with FC Barcelona ended. Pleiss will likely not see playing time immediately, as he will have to compete with Derrick Favors, Rudy Gobert and Trevor Booker.

Pleiss is expected to sign a three-year contract with the Jazz worth $10 million, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports. Pleiss' rights were obtained by the Jazz during the 2010 NBA Draft but he just recently terminated his contract with FC Barcelona, making him eligible to move stateside. His first season in Utah will likely be limited off the bench as he'll play behind Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert while competing for playing time with Trevor Booker.

Pleiss terminated his contract with FC Barcelona and signed with the Jazz on Thursday, Mundo Deportivo reports. Pleiss was drafted back in 2010, and his rights ultimately ended up in the Jazz's hands. Pleiss is now ready to join the NBA, as Utah will take him in on a contract reportedly worth $625,000. In his final season with Barcelona, the 25-year-old averaged 5.4 points and 3.76 rebounds over 13 minutes in 71 games with the club. While how much production he will be able to give the Jazz is still in question, he definitely possess great size and length in an already young Utah frontcourt.

Pleiss will be the target of the Utah Jazz, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports. The Jazz acquired the rights to Pleiss in a deal with Oklahoma City in February. If Pleiss decides to come to play with the Jazz, he will add some much-needed size to their front court.

Pleiss' rights were dealt to the Jazz on Thursday, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.Last offseason, the Thunder implied that they intended to bring the German center to the NBA in 2015-16. Currently, Pleiss is a member of FC Barcelona, for whom he's averaging 5.8 points (on 58 percent shooting) and 3.7 rebounds in 13 minutes across 34 games (five starts). Because an international flavor exists in Utah -- Dante Exum (Australia) and Rudy Gobert (France) -- Pleiss could very well make the move to professional hoops in the States next season.

Pleiss has officially signed a contract to play for FC Barcelona Basketball this upcoming season, Sportando reports. Pleiss will go to Spain to try and develop his game to potentially become a decent front court player for the Thunder in the 2015-2016 season. With Kendrick Perkins and Nick Collison becoming free agents at the end of next season, the move makes great sense for the team to try and develop their young talent. Getting Pleiss some playing time this season should help mold his game and prepare him for the NBA.

Tibor Pleiss is close to signing with FC Barcelona. The 24-year-old German was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2010 draft, but has served as an oversea stash for the past four years. While he is eligible to play in the NBA this season, it looks like the 7'1" center will continue to hone his craft in Europe.

Tibor Pleiss is close to signing with the Thunder, according to his agent. Last month, he was not expected to sign with the Thunder, and it's possible he stays in Europe. Pleiss signed a four-year deal to play in Spain back in 2012, but he is eligible to play in the USA this season.

Tibor Sleiss is not expected to join the Thunder this season. He was the 32nd pick back in 2010 and still has time left on his deal with a team in Spain. Pleiss is a 7'1" center and the Thunder aren't in a rush to add a big man after drafting Mitch McGary in the first round on Thursday.
