Prior to the start of last season, perhaps one of the biggest surprises regarding the Utah Jazz roster was that undrafted rookie Royce O’Neale qualified for the final 15-man roster. Considering that prior to that he was a relative unknown and that the Jazz seemed pretty high on their former second-round draft pick Joel Bolomboy, most assumed that Royce would ultimately fall short. Instead, he not only made the team, but thrived in his new role.
Utah’s 2018-19 roster has yet to be officially finalized, and won’t be until well into preseason. However, all signs indicate that Georges Niang qualifying for the 15-man roster is essentially a done deal.
