<p>SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz are taking swings at two young forwards.</p><p>The Jazz are planning to sign both Darius Bazley and Kenneth Lofton Jr.
to non-guaranteed deals, according to ESPN.</p><p>Bazley, 23, was the No. 19 pick in the 2019 draft and has averaged 20.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in the G League this season. The 6-foot-8 forward was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder and spent 3.5 seasons there. He was traded to Phoenix at last season's deadline but appeared in just seven games for the Suns. Last month, he signed a 10-day contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.</p><p>Bazley has good length on the defensive end, but only a 31% 3-point shooter. He's been most effective as a small-ball five — and had some big block number games in the G League. He's got some face-up and driving ability, too. And even though this is his fifth year, he's still young.</p><p>As for Lofton, the 21-year-old undrafted forward was waived by the Memphis Grizzlies in December. He signed a two-way deal with the 76ers shortly after that but was waived by Philadelphia earlier this month.</p><p>Lofton, who was the G League Rookie of the Year last season, is averaging 2.4 points and 1.1 rebounds in 17 total games this season.</p><p>The moves give the Jazz an extended look&#x
