Utah Jazz rookie Raulzinho Togni Neto is the counterculture point guard who plays to the beat of Allen Ginsberg's "Howl"

Okay, so we have this guy. We got him from the Atlanta Hawks for a 2015 2nd round pick. He spent a few seasons playing in Europe, and we didn't get a lot of chances to see him outside of international competitions. Over this time we saw him once in a Utah Jazz uniform in the Orlando Summer League, but that was it. But now he's here. He's on the team. And he, and I don't mean this with any obliqueness at all, could be a transformative player that can really help this team. Today's NBA features either super fast point guards; absolute sharp shooters; or players who in other eras would have been short small forwards who have the strength and athleticism to just dominate.
