The different ways that Ochai Agbaji is making an impact

Ochai Agbaji is the youngest lottery pick on the Utah Jazz. That comes with some expectations of high potential. Despite that, the 22-year-old rookie couldn't find minutes in his first few months in the league. Agbaji is naturally a wing, and Utah's wing minutes are dominated by Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, and Malik Beasley. The remaining minutes at that position have been unpredictable. Talen Horton-Tucker and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have had times being Coach Will Hardy's first choice for those minutes. Both have done well in their opportunities. For a time, it looked like Agbaji may not get a real chance this season to show what he could do.
