B+. . PF/C. Utah Jazz. EKPE UDOH

Overall GPA: 2.90 (B-minus)

Ekpe Udoh is yet another player the Jazz added this offseason that has quickly shown his merit. Udoh has really impressed in relief of the injured Gobert over Utah’s last two games.

Udoh may have turned in his two most impressive outings of the year in back to back games against Boston and Cleveland. I have been extremely impressed in the big man’s ability to not only protect the rim but to guard his man on the perimeter.

Udoh has shown impressively quick feet for a player his size. He is one of the major reasons that Utah was able to stay afloat during Gobert’s first injury. The Jazz will need Udoh to continue to play well in relief of Gobert if they want to stay relevant in the West.

Pretty cool stat here…
