The Utah Jazz have filled out their training camp roster for now.

The team this week signed forward Romeo Langford, guard Taevion Kinsey, and center Nick Ongenda. The Jazz’s roster sits at 21 players, the limit for NBA teams during the offseason. Training camp is expected to begin in early October.

Langford is the only player of the group to have regular season NBA experience, most recently playing for the San Antonio Spurs last season. Throughout his four-year career, Langford has posted averages of 4.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 16.1 minutes per game.

The former lottery pick (taken 14th overall by the Boston Celtics in the 2019 NBA draft) posted career-high averages last season, scoring 6.9 points and shooting 46.7 percent from the field. The 6-5, 215-pound wing is only 23 years old.

Kinsey most recently played college basketball for Marshall, averaging 22.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists during his senior year. He left Marshall as the program’s all-time leading scorer. The 6-5, 190-pound combo forward competed for the Jazz during the 2023 Salt Lake Summer League and NBA Summer league. In a combined 8 games, Kinsey averaged 5.88 points and 2.1 assists in 19.5 minutes per contest.

Ongenda played four college seasons for DePaul, averaging 5.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 18.8 minutes per game. The 6-11, 230-pound center recently played seven games for the Jazz across the 2023 Salt Lake Summer League and NBA Summer League, averaging 5.4 points and 1.0 blocks.

The Jazz have until Oct. 23 at 5 p.m. ET to trim their roster down to the typical 15 players, plus an additional three two-way contracts.
