Raptors Sign Uthoff

Former Iowa basketball star Jarrod Uthoff has reached an agreement with the NBA’s Toronto Raptors Thursday.

He was not selected in last month’s NBA Draft after averaging 18.9 points per game during an all-America senior season for the Hawkeyes. The 6-foot-10 forward from Cedar Rapids also led the Big Ten Conference with 86 blocked shots.

Uthoff played for the Sacramento Kings team in the NBA summer league in Las Vegas, but averaged only 4.5 points in four games.
