(Sports Network) - The Utah Jazz signed guard Eric Maynor, the team's first-round pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, on Wednesday. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Maynor, the 2008-09 Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year at Virginia Commonwealth, finished his four-year collegiate career as VCU's all- time leading scorer (1,953) and assist-man (674).
A finalist for the Bob Cousy Award as the nation's top point guard, Maynor led the CAA for the third consecutive season in assists per game (6.2), while also leading the league as a senior in scoring per game (22.4) as a senior.
In addition, Maynor became the first player drafted from VCU since the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Sherron Mills with the 29th pick in 1993, and is the first ever VCU Ram taken in the first round of the NBA Draft.
