Utah Jazz have signed Matthew Murrell and Steven Crowl to Exhibit 10 deals as training camp approaches, bolstering frontcourt and backcourt depth.
The Jazz announced two roster moves on Monday, adding prospects who can develop in their system. Both players inked Exhibit 10 contracts that give them a clear path to the G League if they miss the NBA roster.
Steven Crowl arrives after five seasons at Wisconsin. He averaged 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game for the Badgers. At 7-feet tall, Crowl offers size and positional versatility inside.
Crowl profiles as a high-IQ big man who moves well on offense. He was not a major shot-blocking presence for Wisconsin, but his floor spacing and decision-making stood out. The Jazz will likely test his fit in pick-and-roll schemes and short-roll finishes.
Matthew Murrell spent all five of his college seasons at Ole Miss. Across those years, he put up notable numbers. He averaged 12.1 points in 2021-22, then 14.4 and 16.2 points per game in the following two seasons, before falling to 10.8 points in his final year.
Murrell is a 6-foot-4 guard from Memphis with range. He shot 34.8% from three for his college career, while adding 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game. That blend of shooting and defensive activity makes him an intriguing two-way candidate for the Jazz development pipeline.
Both players finished their college careers in the 2024-25 season. The timing gives Utah a full offseason to evaluate them during training camp and preseason work. Exhibit 10 deals are ideal for clubs that want flexibility with young talent.
Exhibit 10 contracts allow teams to convert signings into G League attachments. The Jazz can incentivize Murrell and Crowl to remain within their system. That pathway also opens the door to two-way deals or standard NBA contracts if a player leaps forward.
On paper, the moves underline Utah’s focus on depth and long-term upside. Crowl supplies interior size even if he needs to become a more consistent rim protector. Murrell brings perimeter shooting and ball-handling that the organization can refine.
Training camp will reveal immediate roles and competition levels. Both players will fight for minutes against veterans and other hopefuls. If they embrace development, the G League could serve as a proving ground before any call-up to the parent club.
The Jazz have signaled a steady rebuild that blends present competitiveness with future investment. These Exhibit 10 deals cost little in cap terms but could pay dividends if either player carves out a niche. For now, expectations remain measured. The organization will watch how Murrell and Crowl adapt to professional demands and whether they can translate college production into reliable pro minutes.
