I thought RJ Luis jr was a much better talent

Definitely more upside, but Tonje is a better shooter.

Jazz traded the rights to Luis Jr. to the Celtics in that Georges Niang deal, which....you probably knew.

Yea I guess I am saying I would rather give someone else a chance. I just don’t see nba talent for tonje.

I mostly feel the same, but Tonje did just complete the annual Jr Jazz tour meaning he spent weeks on the road in rural Utah dealing with elementary aged kids. He earned the two way contract.

If we find someone we like better at some point in the season we can always cut Tonje and sign them.

Tonje did have one nice Vegas Summer League game where he seemed to hit one clutch shot after another.

felt like a throw away pick from the start for me. sorry john but i feel like he's really close to his ceiling right now and he doesn't have the time to mature like other rooks.

I think the only two way player the Jazz have had that has ever turned into a decent NBA player was the Minivan. Maybe I'm missing someone but man this seems like a vast wasteland.

A bit premature to stamp him as a bad player. Is it because of the age? He could be decent.

I think he looks the part of an NBA player. Where that translates we will see.
