This season’s starting lineup is arguably the most talented in Jazz history — Rudy Gobert, a two-time Defensive Player of the Year; Donovan Mitchell, one of the NBA’s burgeoning young stars; Mike Conley, a near-All-Star-level point guard; Bojan Bogdanovic, one of the elite perimeter shooters in the league; and …
Oh, right … Royce O’Neale, who in averaging 5.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, would appear statistically to be the weakest link.
But then, stat sheets don’t always tell the whole story, do they? Certainly no one on the Jazz doubts O’Neale’s impact, thanks to his Swiss Army knife versatility.
