Royce O’Neale’s Resurgence Deserves some Credit
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsRoyce O’Neale got off to a pretty poor start this season. He looked out of place and like he should be out of the rotation. It seemed like he was being asked to do too much and wasn’t staying within his game. From the past few weeks however, he’s gone on a tear and is an important part of the Utah Jazz rotation.
Overall Royce O’Neale has an OFF RTG of 98.2 and DEF RTG of 100.7 according to https://t.co/CRIpt76sKw
In his last 20 games, however, he’s at 101.8 and 95, respectively. That’s a NET RTG swing of 9.2. I don’t think I’ve given him enough credit for his in-season progress.
