Simone Fontecchio Is Going BERSERK On The Utah Jazz

Simone Fontecchio Is Going BERSERK On The Utah Jazz

Today we will be reviewing some of the finer work of the one and only Simone fanto who is obviously the Italian born sensation who was at one point regarded as the finest of the finest crop of small forwards outside of the NBA before we get into this one make sure to like

The video subscribe and turn on post notifications if you haven’t already to get more Utah Jazz content with that being said let’s go ahead and get into the video going into his second season with the Utah Jazz things were looking a little bit iffy but at full health he

Started to produce finally that being said overall this season we’re seeing him put up some quite entertaining numbers to the point so much so that he started in half of the Utah Jazz games that he’s actually been a part of with that in mind he started in 16 out of the

32 matches that he’s been a part of and he has averaged 21.4 minutes per game and in that time he’s put up 9.1 points points three rebounds 1.1 assists 6 steals point4 blocks and a single turnover per game putting this together on 46.2% shooting from the field and

39.9% shooting from Beyond The Ark along with 78.1% from the free throw line This most recently comes off the back of a performance against the Dallas Mavericks in which he was the team’s leading scorer and the man who really put them in position to go ahead and handedly

Deal with the Mavericks and Luca donic now in the 127 to 90 Victory he actually shot 10 of 16 from the field for 62.5% he was three of eight from three only out shot by the one and only Lowry marinan who was four of eight and he

Also hit the one free throw that he took to combine along with six rebounds and two assists now along with this he had two steals one block and only a single turnover over to give himself 24 points on the night and a box score plus minus of a positive

27 now his overall true shooting percentage at this point in the season is 61.1 which is quite high and honestly extremely impressive but considering his usage it does make sense with that being said over the past five games he’s only started in two of those games but the

Ability for him to be put into the starting lineup and also pulled out on a whim and still being capable of producing at the high level that he does stands to the pedigree that he comes from and just his General ability to have a certain level of adaptability

That most players quite simply don’t have now across the last five games he’s averaged 23.4 minutes 11 points per game 3.8 rebounds 8 assists 1.2 steals point4 blocks and 1.2 turnovers shooting 56.8% from the field and 40.9% from the three-point line now understanding that the biggest numbers from his season so

Far are the 9.1 points per game the three rebounds and the 1.1 assist but to go and look specifically at the games that he started because those are the games where he’s playing the bulk of the minutes that he’s had this season and sees most of the games where he does end

Up playing closer to 30 or over 30 minutes it’s important to recognize that he averages 28.6 minutes in those contests along with that he averages 12 .6 points 4.1 rebounds 1.9 assists .9 steals 6 blocks .9 turnovers and manages to shoot 44.3% from the field to go along with 37% from

Beyond The Arc and 78.1% from the free throw line now in this same time he only averages 1.9 fouls per game however his box score plus minus is surprisingly a negative 3.5 four this is not to say that he’s a bad player that he particularly has any egregious misgivings but it just stands

To show that there have been some less than favorable situations that he has found himself in with an outlier game being actually the other time the Utah Jazz played the Dallas Mavericks in which he was a box he has a box score plus minus of a -40 now outliers aside

He does tend to play well in the M that he has and quite honestly since he’s come into the season he’s come with the new rejuvenated Vigor about himself that allows him to outperform the expectations that we really had for him going into the year now last season we

Knew that him coming over here from overseas would allow him to be a shooter and really just stretch the floor and make those extra passes nobody had supremely high expectations for him which makes it even more impressive that fento has been able to go so far with

This Utah Jazz roster now the biggest thing about this Utah Jazz roster to keep in mind is that there’s no genuinely heavy ego individual it’s a culmination of talent and individuals that just have fun and enjoy being around one another anytime you see a social media post or anything about them

At practice at games postgame whatever the situation may be they’re always funloving having fun joking with one another and fonio definitely exudes that energy particularly when you see him around the lone Allstar of the team lry Markin or Kelly o linic just really all the guys having fun and really going out

There and getting after it and over the past 11 games it’s really showing as they are eight and three in those contests now when it comes to fono specifically he really finds himself in an interesting spot where he’s not the most athletic on the court and often

Times he might not particularly be the best shooter but he also puts himself in the best positions to allow his team to win games and really stay in games that at times they really are being outplayed in for example he finds himself in a lot of situations where his three-point shot

And his ability to make the extra EXT ra pass can lead to him having a game where he has four or five assists at random because most likely you’re expecting him to have the one to two range as he does average almost exactly one assist on the

Year per game with that being said he does a lot of things well and he seems to find a way to be effective when his shot isn’t falling which is very important as an overseas player he also understands the importance of moving off the ball and because of his shooting

Prowess it also allows him to put himself in positions where he can be the most successful to assist his team with his own shooting and also spreading the floor to allow players like the Colin seon and the Keon georgees and the Jordan Clarkson of the

World to drive at the rim and have a potential opportunity to kick the ball out and trust him to hit that shot it’s safe to say that with him shooting a 39.9% clip it’s a pretty reliable shot to go to Simone fanto is one of the more interesting players in the league not

Only because he is Italian but more so because of what he embodies his ability AB ility to move off the ball his ability to pass the ball effectively when necessary his ability to rebound at a very high rate really at random when it’s really needed and his ability to be

A surprising positive on the defensive side of the ball all needs to be taken in account alongside his shooting While most people will come to recognize him as an elite shooter in this league it is important to also understand that he really is the epitome of a 3 andd player

That has so much more to his game because he chooses to add it there’s so many players in the league that lack the IQ necessary to make certain plays to make the extra pass or to get on the glass and attack the boards when they realize their team really needs it and

They just consciously don’t have the intelligence or The Savvy to make that sort of play happen but for fono it’s very different because he goes out of his way to make those extra plays especially when he’s having a poor shooting night and there’s something to really be said about that because you

Can’t teach hustle and you can’t teach heart in the NBA and players either have it or they don’t and when you’re a team like the Utah Jazz that doesn’t have a genuine number one option for a championship run it’s imperative that you have a culmination of guys that are

Willing to go the extra mile put in the extra work and make the extra plays happen and quite honestly in my opinion fono is a perfect reason why this team has been successful in its recent runs and why they will continue to be successful going forward thanks for
