Royce O’Neale – BB-8

Royce O’Neale hasn’t done a ton with the Utah Jazz yet, but in limited opportunities, he’s certainly made the most of his time on the floor. And above all, from social media to on the court, O’Neale just seems like a likable guy.

You know who else is extremely likable? BB-8. I mean, how can you not enjoy watching that hilarious little droid that makes the coolest sounds just roll around and do his thing? O’Neale hasn’t been with the Jazz long, just like BB-8 hasn’t been a member of the Star Wars family all that long, but if their early strong starts are any indication, you can guarantee that they’ll both have a nice impact in the years to come both on the hardwood and in a galaxy far, far away.
