After being selected 14th overall in the 2022 NBA Draft out of Kansas, Ochai Agbaji averaged 7.9 points and 2.1 rebounds on 42.7% shooting in 59 games as a rookie. Although he has not shown much improvement yet in his second season, he did have a highlight reel play on Saturday.
In the Utah Jazz's 117-109 win over the Miami Heat, Agbaji made his presence felt defensively rather than the offensive end. Jimmy Butler gave Tyler Herro an outlet pass for a seemingly open dunk, but the KU product came out of nowhere to reject his attempt in chase-down style.

Agbaji finished with no counting stats besides that one block on the night.
