Miye Oni Hot Take

i didn't realize Royce's 3pt shot faded so badly down the stretch last season (he did hit better against the Nuggets). maybe this hot take is true...
 
I'm not as high on Royce as most Jazz fans and I think his defense is overrated. Having said that, it takes a lot for Quin to deviate from his rotation so I just don't see it happening. I seriously doubt Oni even gets on the floor when everyone is healthy until garbage time.

He's getting minutes for sure
 
O NEALE is overrated by many. He should be end of the rotation guy at most. Spot filler/starter when needed due to injury.

He got exposed on defence in the playoffs. Dude gave us nothing
 
Wow, reading all these posts from folks that are so high on Jazz second round picks and FA pick ups you'd think the front office wasn't in complete melt down mode.

I just don't see where the minutes come from. He's basically going to be in a fight with Morgan and Shaq to see who ends up being the 10th, 11th and 12th man on the roster, and Quin usually goes with a 9 man rotation. He'll get minutes when guys are out but I just don't see it when everyone is healthy.

I don't think it's unreasonable to say those guys are competing with Niang for the 9th slot, but the top 8 seem pretty clear and I'd be surprised if any of them crack it.

Covid, and the compressed schedule will create an extra 2 to 3 spots during the regular season for most teams. With the COVID protocols players should just consider staying away from their families a couple weeks at a time. On the third week they should just take time off and rotate in another 4 players.

Conley gave us nothing on defense. Royce was worse than expected but at least made Murray work for it.

Would you settle for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope?

Actually think this is a good comp. KCP use to have a lot more ball skills but they never really translated in the NBA. I think Oni will develop that part of his game better
 
But if oni is ready this team is deep. 5 players in top 100. Then Favors, Clarkson, and royce. Then Oni.

Yep. He made Murray almost break a sweat tearing the team apart to the tune of dual 50-point games. And he almost was out of breath laughing so hard at our excuse for a defense. I remember him just giggling running back on defense. But boy O'neal made him work for those giggles.
