Samanic has not been a valuable contributor this season. Posting career lows in nearly every statistical category, you can often hear groans across the arena when he checks into the game. Still young and affordable, but noticeably regressing, Samanic has been less than impressive this season in Utah.

C | Omer Yurtseven - C-

Yurtseven was picked up in the offseason to add depth to the center position while Walker Kessler recovered from his UCL injury. He did the job but nothing more than necessary. He's proved to be a capable player in a pinch, but Utah's frontcourt depth is good enough to keep Yurtseven out of the rotation most games.
