Tonje is the focal rookie on a Jazz two-way deal, blending summer-league shooting with potential as a floor-spacer and secondary playmaker. His two-way status means NBA minutes will be sporadic but growthful, especially if his three-point stroke translates from college and summer showings to actual games behind Markkanen and Kessler.

Tonje signed a two-way with Utah after being the 53rd pick, bringing a 19.6 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 1.8 APG college profile with elite free-throw volume and a 38.8% 3-point clip. Summer League production showed scoring and rebounding potential but was limited by an ankle sprain. The two-way path and 50-game NBA ceiling keep him in fantasy focus behind a crowded Jazz rookie group led by Bailey and Clayton Jr.

John Tonje struggled in his performance against the Bulls, scoring only 4 points on 1-of-9 shooting. However, he is expected to secure a roster spot for the Jazz in the upcoming season despite the poor showing.
