13 of 16

Overall GPA: 2.15 (C+)

One player who I initially believed would benefit from the increased opportunities due to the injuries was Royce O’Neale. Until the Nuggets game, that hadn’t seemed to be the case.

While he has appeared in eight of Utah’s last 10 games, most of O’Neale’s minutes have been limited to garbage time at the end of games.

Include me on the list of fans who would like to see more Royce O’Neale. He scored a season-high 11 points on Tuesday, but has yet to gain a foothold in Coach Snyder’s rotation.
