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. |

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. |

Pleiss, a Thunder draftee, will spend the upcoming season in Barcelona, but the Thunder intend to bring the center to Oklahoma City for the 2015-16 season, Yahoo! Sports reports. |
Pleiss is one of the better foreign center prospects and could provide the Thunder with some depth in the frontcourt when he makes the eventual move to the NBA. This move makes even more sense for the Thunder when you consider that Nick Collison and Kendrick Perkins will become free agents at the end of the 2014-15 season. |

But we've got to let him be him. We'll continue to watch him this summer." It sounds like the team is in no hurry to bring him stateside, and they're clearly hoping that the 21 year-old will continue to develop in Germany next year. |
