Which new Jazz players are you most excited to watch this year?

Preseason is about to start. Who are you most excited about from the new guys?

ochai, vando and fontecchio if i can choose just three. also interested to see if lauri can carry over some of that eurobasket performance and then beasley and kessler would be the next two.

I already mentioned this in another thread, but I'm excited to watch Vanderbilt. I like watching good defense, and excited for him to put the clamps down on some guys.

I'm excited to see what the rookies look like. I wouldn't be surprised to see them both spend some time in the G league, especially at the start of the year, but they should both get some decent playing time by the end of the year.

I would like to see if Beasley can rebuild his stock playing as a starter with Sexton running the offense and Ochai at the sf spot in a 3/d role

 

[Peter Effin' Parker]

Honestly, all of them! I'm just stoked for something different

The annoying thing is that we have 18 players, and I don't want to see any of them cut (well, maybe except Gay). Hoping for a veteran trade giving up more players than we take back.

Sexton - How aggressive and efficient is he offensively?
Fontecchio - Can he become the new Bogdanovic?
Markkanen - Can he be a reliable three-level scorer?
I'm not expecting too much from Agbaji. He reminds me of a Courtney Lee type, but if he can be a solid wing defender and shoot high 30s from 3pt then he's a real part of the future.

I want to see if THT is better than his reputation, how close Sexton can get to what Mitchell put out, and if NAW can actually play since he barely played last year (im counting NAW because he's new-ish)

Fonzie, Markky, and Sexy.

Well it was Westbrook but I guess I’ll have to settle for the country club man’s Greg Foster.

I would say Markkanen
Jazz finally have a 7 ft PF who can play C or SF in certain situations
Tired of a 6' 4" PF trying to guard 7 ft players

Interesting that the top vote getter so far is Simone.
