Productive finish in starting role
Filipowski provided 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 29 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
The Scoop: The rookie second-rounder received plenty of starting opportunities throughout 2024-25, especially after the rebuilding Jazz gradually began to shut some of their key players down. Filipowski averaged 16.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 30.1 minutes across his last 18 games as a starter during the regular season. Even on a healthier Utah team, Filipowski may have flashed enough upside during this period to carve out a stable role in the second unit for next year.
