Royce O’Neale is coming off an impressive sophomore season that saw him take a huge stride in becoming a key component to this Utah Jazz team. Yet, at 25 years old, it’s historically and statistically unlikely to see an undrafted player elevate his game much further, leaving most fans thinking we’ve already seen O’Neale’s ceiling.
I, however, am expecting a breakout year from Royce that blows last season out of the water. In my opinion, he’s clearly the leading candidate to land the starting power forward role, as argued by Jared Woodcox last week.
