Ochai Agbaji named the weakest starter for the Utah Jazz

Ochai Agbaji came to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2022 NBA Draft with the idea of the young man starting at shooting guard for them as a rookie. The idea was to have Agbaji and Lauri Markkanen stretch the court for the Cavs, allowing for Darius Garland to create at the top of the key. Then the Cavs traded Agbaji, Markkanen, Collin Sexton, and a host of first-round picks to the Jazz for Donovan Mitchell.

Then it became the Jazz’s job to try and find a way to get the most out of Agbaji. Now, the second-year wing is looking at being a wing player for the Jazz.
