Brice Sensabaugh

After being a non-factor for most of his rookie campaign, Sensabaugh made an impact down the stretch while the Jazz 'rested' most of their rotation players in an attempt to get better lottery odds. From March 6 through April 14, Sensabaugh averaged 10.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.8 minutes per game. During that stretch, Sensabaugh scored 22 points twice and had one double-double. However, Sensabaugh's role will be drastically different to start Year 2. Lauri Markkanen, John Collins and Walker Kessler are expected to be healthy and handle the majority of the frontcourt minutes in Utah, leaving Sensabaugh to compete with fellow 2023 first-round pick Taylor Hendricks plus rookies Kyle Filipowski and Cody Williams for backup minutes. Sensabaugh and Hendricks presumably have the upper hand given their familiarity with the organization, but if someone stands out, there's no reason for the Jazz not to prioritize their development. While it seems like a clustered rotation, Sensabaugh is worth keeping an eye on just in case Utah decides to blow things up midseason. Markkanen's new deal makes him ineligible to be traded this year, but Collins and Kessler are very much on the trade block according to the offseason rumor mill.
