Royce O'Neale

One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Royce O'Neale: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.

Undrafted out of Baylor in 2015, O'Neale took the long road to Salt Lake City — a year with Riesen Ludwigsburg in Germany, another with Gran Canaria in Spain, and a contract with Lithuania's Žalgiris he never played under before the Jazz signed him in 2017. Two and a half seasons of sturdy wing defense later, Utah rewarded him with a four-year, $36 million extension in January 2020.

Family always steered him — in college he transferred from Denver to Baylor to be nearer his ailing grandfather. Traded to Brooklyn in 2022 for a first-round pick, he posted his first career triple-double that November, then moved on to Phoenix and, in 2026, the Charlotte Hornets.

HOW HE CAME & WENTHe had signed with Zalgiris Kaunas but never played a game there — an NBA exception in that contract let Utah sign him after summer league. Five seasons later, on June 30, 2022, the club opened its teardown by trading him to Brooklyn for a first-round pick, wanting future trade capital and a roster spot.
