Neto had a surprisingly active rookie season with the Jazz, making appearances in 81 games, 53 of which were starts, while averaging 18.5 minutes per contest.

EDGE Analysis

Neto essentially backed his way into a larger role with significant absences from Dante Exum (knee) and Alec Burks (knee), and Trey Burke's inability to stay in good graces with coach Quin Snyder certainly helped as well. Although, Neto's own deficiencies were made clear when the Jazz acquired Shelvin Mack midseason via trade, thus demoting Neto to the bench where he only averaged 14.5 minutes over the final 28 games of the season. With Exum, Burks, Burke, and Mack all in line to return for 2016-17, it's entirely possible for Neto to see far less playing time during his second year in the NBA.
