Lutz on Montonati:
"The first thing that stands out to you about Jalen is how competitive he is. He loves to win, and he's willing to put in the time and the effort to make it happen. He's a skilled, versatile player and he makes shots at a high level. He has a great understanding and feel for the game and knows how to work his way into spots where he can do the most damage. We're thrilled that he's decided to stay home and play for the Cowboys."
