I fully expect to see Bolmaro, Agbaji and Fontecchio get minutes at some point this season. Let them earn it though. Seems like Hardy will play the guys he feels are best to win the game. That’s refreshing.Why are we seeing nothing from Fontecchio? I want to see him play.

Dang, so I missed it when I leaned over to fart. Knew I should have held that thing in.According to the box score he had 9 seconds last game. . .

And that was two substitutions! Could it be a record?According to the box score he had 9 seconds last game. . .
Benching Ochai in favor of Beasley/Gay/Tucker very much reminds me of the Marvin/R. Jefferson/Devin Harris/Millsap/Big AL from Corbin era. Remember, we played all these folks heavy minutes only to allow them leave us in FA for free.
But still no excuse to not squeeze something out of Big AL/Millsap/Devin Harris/Richard Jefferson/Marvin Williams when they clearly had value to contenders.The only young player that turned out to be anything from that era was G.Hayward. The rest just weren't good enough to crack the roster. In a competitive environment, if the youth don't have enough talent to shift the vets then perhaps there is a reason why they are on the bench (tank or otherwise)
I frankly have to question the Jazz's scouting recently. Apparently the Jazz brass loved Agbaji coming out of the draft. But when I watched as much of him as I could after the trade, I was worried about his relatively laid-back approach both offensively and defensively as well as his lack of ball handling. Clearly there's some potential, but when you're rebounding at basically the same rate as the 6" (5-10?) Remy Martin, and you're not really all that much of a self-creator as a 4-year player, the NBA is going to be a steep hill to climb.The biggest problem with Agbaji right now is that he's not an NBA level ball handler at his position. He simply can't put it on the floor at all against SG's, which really limits what he can do on the court. And you can't use him strictly as 3&D guy on the wing because he's undersized. If you don't have modern NBA wing size, you need to be a threat to drive, and he isn't at this point.
In other words, he's a tweener until he seriously improves his dribbling.
When you get a 4 year NCAA player who was heavily featured on his college team, you expect them to be much closer to a "finished product" than someone who was a one-and-done. Unfortunately, I don't see a really high ceiling for Agbaji. He looks like a career 7th or 8th man to me. Don't see much trade value either.
This looks like finisher. Maybe you missed it. He has dibble skillI frankly have to question the Jazz's scouting recently. Apparently the Jazz brass loved Agbaji coming out of the draft.

I know the draft always has its hits and misses, but I don't know what the Jazz were thinking they saw in Ochai to have him as highly regarded as they're reported to have done. Hope he ends up proving me wrong.

What a strange take considering he has never been given the opportunity to do much of anything.The biggest problem with Agbaji right now is that he's not an NBA level ball handler at his position. He simply can't put it on the floor at all against SG's, which really limits what he can do on the court. And you can't use him strictly as 3&D guy on the wing because he's undersized.

I think, if he ever gets real minutes in the starting 5 with Mike or another proven floor general, he is going to be much better than when he has to play off of lesser playmakers, or less likely to share teammates.Agbaji seems to know how to position himself and he has good body control. He seems like an opportunistic scorer: he seems to know when the other team is lagging on defense and he gets where he needs to be to potentially get an easy score.
At least he contributed when finally getting some minutes. It'll be interesting to see if he gets some consistent minutes or if they send him back to the pine for entire games.
