Eric Griffin: Heads to Italy
Griffin agreed to a contract Monday with Pallacanestro Reggiana of the Italian Serie A Basketball League, Sportando.com reports.
Griffin, a 28-year-old forward who went undrafted out of Campbell in 2012, opened last season on a two-way contract with the Jazz, but play exclusively with the team's G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars, before getting waived in December. He most recently suited up for the Pistons' summer league squad, but didn't make enough of an impression in Las Vegas to earn a contract from any of the NBA's 30 teams. He'll thus head overseas in an attempt to boost his stock and earn another opportunity in North America at a later date.

Eric Griffin: Waived by Jazz
Griffin was waived by the Jazz on Thursday, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Griffin inked a two-way deal with the Jazz back in July, spending the majority of his time in the G-League with the team's affiliate. In 19 games with the Salt Lake City Stars, Griffin averaged 17.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 blocks across 31.6 minutes. However, the Jazz clearly weren't overly enthused with his development and will now release Griffin. In the corresponding move, Erik McCree will be signed to a two-way contract.

Jazz's Eric Griffin: Agrees to two-way contract with Jazz
Griffin agreed to a two-way contract Monday with the Jazz, Tony Jones of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
In four games in the Utah Summer League, Griffin averaged 10.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 3.0 steals per game. He's a versatile combo forward that will give the Jazz the depth they need at the position following the departure of Gordon Hayward to the Celtics. With the way the roster is constructed now, Griffin would be fighting with Thabo Sefolosha for backup minutes on the wing when he is with the Jazz, but he'll be spending a large portion of the 2017-18 season in the G League.
