The Story in 60 Seconds

Jack Simone of The J-Notes argues that the Utah Jazz should expand Brice Sensabaugh's role following the team's sluggish 1-4 start to the season. Amid offensive struggles and injuries to frontcourt players Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jusuf Nurkic, Simone suggests head coach Will Hardy should pivot to small-ball lineups that utilize Sensabaugh's perimeter scoring.

Sensabaugh has averaged 9.2 points in just 14.8 minutes per game across Utah's first five contests while shooting 52.6% from three-point range. With key contributors like Lauri Markkanen off to an inefficient start, the author believes giving Sensabaugh more offensive responsibility could provide a much-needed spark.
