NBA Rookie Week: Raulzinho Togni Neto is a refreshing return to an old school style of play

Probably the rookie who has had the greatest impact on the Utah Jazz this season has been Raul Neto. The Brazilian guard played in his homeland and Spain for a number of years -- even after being drafted. Bereft of a 2015 Summer League you'd think that he was at a disadvantage coming into the 2015-2016 season. While he is coming from another part of the world, team first basketball is a universal language. And it's a language Raulzinho Togni Neto is fluent in. For Jazz fans he speaks another language as well, it's an old school, pass-first point guard language that we collectively haven't heard spoken in a long time.
