Often overlooked, Royce O’Neale is another rookie having a great year

It’s easy to get lost in the majesty that is Donovan Mitchell. As a rookie, he has constantly pushed boundaries and followed in the footsteps of countless NBA greats that have come before.

But the Mitchell isn’t the only rookie in the playoff rotation for the Utah Jazz. In the current series with the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Jazz have given just over 55 minutes per game to rookies. Mitchell accounts for a little less than 38 of those minutes. The rest of those minutes have gone to the 24-year-old rookie, Royce O’Neale.
