Raul Neto may be No. 13 in our ongoing Utah Jazz preseason player rankings countdown, but fans should take care not to overlook him. When he’s healthy and getting minutes, you could argue that he’s the best third-string point guard in the NBA.
Unfortunately, being in good health and getting court time weren’t things that really happened for the 26-year-old last season.
The Jazz continued to be one of the more banged-up squads in the Association during the 2017-18 campaign and Neto spent more time on the shelf than most. He began the year with a quad injury, which was followed by rib pain, after which he tweaked his hamstring, hurt his foot, suffered a concussion and took a shot to the knee.
