Ochai Agbaji and the Utah Jazz rookie class were flying high all season. On the same night fellow first-year player Walker Kessler had the first 20-point, 20-rebound game for a rookie since 2014, Agbaji also reached new heights when Nickeil Alexander-Walker lobbed an alley-oop from midcourt that Agbaji plucked out of the air and turned into an athletic reverse layup. The 14th overall pick shot an efficient 6 for 8 for 17 points and added two rebounds and three triples in Utah’s thrilling 126-125 road win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on January 16, 2023. The offensively-polished Agbaji ended his rookie run having averaged 7.9 points across 59 games. · Jan 16, 2023
