Finnish floor general with real playmaking chops, but the shot has work to do
In the 2025-26 season, Abbey gave Utah steady backup point-guard minutes, appearing in 31 games and averaging 2.5 points, 2.2 assists, and 1.6 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game while bringing a defensive-minded, international résumé from Finland’s U20 program. He looks like a connector more than a scorer: reliable enough to run offense, competitive on the ball, and interesting as a low-usage guard who can organize a group. The fit improves if a team wants toughness, distribution, and maturity; the swing skill is perimeter efficiency, because his 28.3% shooting and 19.5% from three in 2025-26 show the jump shot is still a project.
