Being from Ogden, I will always think of Royce O’Neale as “the guy that the Jazz kept over Joel Bolomboy”. It seems as though the Exum injury forced the Jazz’s hand in keeping O’Neale on the roster as depth.

While he has yet to play meaningful minutes, the lackluster play from Burks may start to open the door for O’Neale to get more playing time. O’Neale has shown potential and seems to play hard every time he gets a chance. I look forward watching him if (probably when) his role is increased.

This was pretty cool too:
