Ochai is Him




Well I took him as my avatar not only because he is a handsome mf... but also because I really believe in him. The #1 thing I look for in any rookie is if they show progress during the year and how much they improve with the opportunities they get. Ochai gets a great grade in that perspective.

I dont know what his ceiling could be. He has surprising amout of similarities with Lauri in terms of being a very aggressive decisionmaker who doesnt dribble in place but either shoots, passes or attacks the rim directly. Also doesnt stop at mid-range.... like ever. So 3&D&D. Maybe he can become like a rich man's OG at best, with a slightly shorter frame but ability to defend PoA well and score with more versatility than the other OA.

We are so blessed to have Kessler who essentially looked like starter quality out of the gate and now Ochai is also looking very much like another potential starter who thrives without dominating the flow of the game. I mean Lauri and Ochai are both just perfect for the system Hardy is running. They create space and use it without hesitation.
 
I like him… I hate the corny planned “oh my Ochai” thing our announcers do.


Still not sure how good he can be but the shot is real nice… I wish the defense was better.

I think the defense will come around. He has effort and fight on that end just hasnt figured out how to stay with NBA guards yet. Wasnt he a great defender in college?
