Miye Oni Hot Take

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Oni/Hughes may be the starting 2/3 of the future.

The Jazz really need a dynamic, 6'8" wing with ball skills, something they really haven't had since Hayward left. It's someone with size who can get in the middle of the floor and playmake. That would be ideal for them at the 3. I'm doubting that either Hughes or Oni will take that on-ball role, but they both should be good complementary 3/D pieces.

A bridge too far for me, but I want Oni to get more minutes this year. With him and Brantley, we need to see what we have.

While I don't think either are going to be stars, we don't need them to be. We just need them to be key role players who can log 15-20 MPG as the future of the team.

Oni has a flaw I think he needs repetition of what the coach wants him to do to catch on. He is different than Morgan who gets it instantly. Oni's head actually gets in the way sometimes. He would be better if he stopped overthinking.

Kind of agree. Oni does the right things on the court generally, but sometimes doesn't seem so smooth and natural doing them. Sometimes it seems that his tempo is just not quite right. If he can get this (and the jump shot) down, he has a chance.

Royce is entrenched. He's improving. He does all the little things. He's a willing passer. I think he stays essential.

I think Oni goes from afterthought to part of the regular rotation. That's a big upgrade for a guy we didn't trust much last year.

One decent pre-season game and i'll be drinking the koolaid

I'm guessing the Jazz see Miye Oni as potentially being like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who played a nice role for the Lakers in the playoffs this past year.

This whole thread is PIPING HOT!!!

Miye Oni clearly surpasses O'Neale this year. Becomes successor to Joe Ingles and is a starter by the end of the season.

Dipping into the Christmas eggnog a little heavy?

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...

 

[Jingled]

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.
