Hot Paris campaign lands Mills new NBA team

An impressive Olympic campaign has led to another NBA contract for Boomers legend Patty Mills.

Mills, 36, will play in the NBA for a 16th season after reportedly signing with the Utah Jazz, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The report states Mills and the Jazz agreed to a one-year, fully guaranteed AUD$5 million deal for next season.

It will be Mills’ fifth NBA team after being traded numerous times last off-season.

Mills played a combined 32 games for the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat last season and shot below 40 per cent from the perimeter for the first time in his NBA career, while averaging 4.2 points a game.

His form at the Olympics was of huge benefit to the Boomers, with Mills ranking second in scoring with just over 16 points per game, and more importantly when it comes to the NBA, he shot nearly 41 per cent from three for the tournament.

Mills scored a game-high 26 points on 11-of-21 shooting in Australia’s 95-90 overtime loss to Serbia in the quarter-finals.

He will reunite with coach Will Hardy, who was an assistant for six years at the Spurs while Mills played there.
