“I think I've done a decent job focusing on what I need to get myself in the rotation and get valuable minutes,” Sensabaugh told RG. “But obviously, translating it into wins is the most important for me because winning is the name of the game. I just want to continue getting better, focus on the details with all these guys, take the right shots, make the right reads, and keep the game simple.”

“The games come fast, and it's all the best players in the world, so you really have to lock into the details,” Sensabaugh told RG. “Taking time to watch film with the coaches and preparing ahead of games is important. You play teams multiple times, so you adjust. Doing your work early on defense and being in the right spot helps you avoid playing from behind.”
Sensabaugh credited the Jazz coaching staff, led by Hardy, for helping him develop early in his career. Staying in Salt Lake City for his first NBA offseason and working closely with the coaching staff have enabled him to continue progressing. “They've been transparent with what they want from us. We have a bunch of meetings and conversations outside of practice to clarify things,” Sensabaugh explained to RG. “Being around the whole summer and getting our real work in Utah has helped a lot, especially for the young guys. We know what the coaches want, and if we keep building together, I think we can be special for sure.”
The Utah Jazz have exercised the third-year rookie scale options on guard Keyonte George, forward Taylor Hendricks, and guard/forward Brice Sensabaugh. The team also exercised the fourth-year rookie scale option on center Walker Kessler. Per team policy, terms of the deals were not released.
