A few months ago when Hardy first said it I couldn't see it at all, but I definitely can now.

Jazz are playing him as a weapon shooter, and he's been coming through -- 10/18 on 3PAs in the last two games. Guys are looking to get him 8-10 threes a game.

This is probably the best outcome. A more savvy scoring Danny Green, if Ochai can develop the same on the defensive front. Could be a great 3&D glue guy kind of player that goes nuclear now and then to even out the scoring load.

He plays with a lot composure for a rookie, and has a sweet stroke. I've been impressed by his drive by's on some of the guys that over contest on the three. He seems to make the right decision more times than not.

He was MVP of the NCAA Championship game and was a lottery pick so some scout saw something in him.
Oh my, Ochai....

I don’t know if this bigger role will stick….but one thing I’m happy with is that we can confirm he’s going to be a good shooter at the NBA level. You can say “DUH” based on his college shooting in his senior year, but it doesn’t always work out that way. I’m pleasantly surprised with his play.
Defensively I think he can still get better. He will improve with time, but I wish he was a little more active. Get more rebounds, steals, deflections etc. But he’ll at least be a solid on ball defender with time I think. What makes Danny Green special is outstanding defensive plays king, Ochai doesn’t really offer that.
He reminds me of Gary “Gary” Harris before he was perma injured and could shoot.
