Yep, looks like it. Now that's he's settled on being a stretch 4 only, he can put on a little bulk to compete with the big boys.
Uthoff signs with Mavs for rest of season

I noticed that too in his clips from D-league. Looked a lot stronger---that will be huge for his game. Just watched clip of his 1st 2 points in NBA....Uthoff can end up being a stud in NBA. Most skilled B-ball player I have ever seen at Iowa.

sorry if repetitive...but Carlisle spoke of Jarrod on his weekly interview with local Dallas ESPN radio
Talked about Uthoff's size at "6'9" to 6'10"
Mentioned skillset shooting 3's, especially recently in D League and rare shot blocking for a stretch four
Spoke to his contract and how they really want him to play in the summer league and he will have an incentive laden structure.
Will get more opportunity in remaining games (along with a few other younger guys)

When he was in the draft he was listed at 6`9-221, now he is showed at 6`10 240. Thanks.....
We all talk about jok and his sweet shot, but Uthoff ranks as one of the best pure shooters of all time. I think he's gonna make a great pro.
Hmm Matt Bullard with a mid-range game and a shot blocker as well. How many years did Bullard play for the Rockets etc.....
I was thinking the same thing, hope it works out that way. Matt played nine years for the Rockets. Thanks...
"Jarrod Uthoff had a couple of nice blocks and he made a nice move going to the basket for a dunk near the end.
Again, nothing spectacular and I’m definitely not trying to sell you on Jarrod Uthoff. What’s important moving forward is that they got the loss while allowing their bench players to play some meaningful NBA minutes."

"I was laying on the trainer's table, and Matt Bullard came in and kicked me off it," Barkley said of the journeyman forward. "He says that he makes more money than I do, so he has first dibs on the table.
"What kind of league is this, when Matt Bullard makes more money than I do?"

"We get a white guy from Oklahoma, and he breaks his elbow,"
Barkley continues. "We need to get tough white guys. We need
white guys from New York or somewhere. Can't get those white
guys from the Midwest anymore. Can't get those white guys
like...." He spots teammate Matt Bullard, white guy.
"Can't get those white guys like Matt Bullard," Barkley says.
"We need some tough white guys." Bullard, white guy, giggles
along with everyone else.
Uthoff gets 12pts, 9rb, 2/3 from 3 in 27 min in Mavs loss vs Suns today. I believe that's his best stat line to date in the NBA.

Uthoff had a very solid game, and as Canada noted he finally heated up from 3 and also grabbed NINE boards including 5 offensive. Ulis went off for 20.
Not sure if Jarrod knows it but He has a 102 year old Great Aunt ( Sister to His Great Grandfather ) who watched His entire Iowa career , scrapped together a cable subscriptions to B1G network and ESPN to watch His games and is very proud to see Him get in the NBA and do well.
Wow, OK! Was wondering, did JU's uncle Dean ever play in the league? He led the clones in rebounding and was a pretty solid scorer in the post at 6'11", back in 1977.
http://www.thegazette.com/subject/s...st-uthoff-to-make-good-in-basketball-20160115
The 6-foot-11 Dean played at Iowa State from 1976 to 1980. He is the Cyclones’ all-time leading rebounder with 1,233.
...
Dean had a 13-year career in Australia’s National Basketball League. He became a naturalized citizen there in 1991 and has remained there.
