Oni needs to find consistent minutes

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I've been a bit disappointed in Oni. I thought he would be more confident dribble driving and making decisions in the offense.

His off-ball energy and athleticism on loose balls has been fun though.

If we're up to compare him to Royce, he came right away from college to the Jazz, while Royce played some in Europe

I think some minutes will naturally come available as they have for the past couple weeks. If we happen to have unprecedented health, then I’d love to see us reduce the minutes of other guys and he could be the beneficiary of that.

Realistically though, it’s an 8-9 man rotation in the playoffs. And unless something goes wrong, Oni won’t be cracking that. I Like what we’re seeing though. I’m an Oni fan.

Yeah he just needs enough time to not be completely lost when called upon due to fouls or injury.

The Stars could use him right now.

He hustles, especially on rebounds. There was two or three he tapped out to our other guys on Wednesday we'd have never gotten without him. Seems to always be near the ball when it comes off the rim.

He should grab minutes from Bojan until he demonstrates consistency.

Oni needs to stop fouling and start hitting 3s.

Love his rebounding, defense, and hustle. But he’s gotta give us something on offense

If we had drafted Bane would he be getting more PT than Oni? Who would he be stealing mins from? Bojan?

He’d be vying with Oni for the 10th man spot this season.

In any case, Bojan has been hot garbage too often this season, and half the rotation is only getting farther from their primes on a team with few picks or prospects and that projects to annually be at the LT to start offseasons.

im wondering if bogie is feeling too much pressure right now.

I think a big problem is his fit in the offense. He isn’t a post up player. I don’t know why Q is using him like that. I think he’d have a lot more success coming off those Korver/Hayward picks and shooting/driving to the rim.

Having said that, he’s missing rven wide open looks and leaves a lot to be desired defensively. IMO that 3/4 spot is the weakest link. I really wish we had drafted a guy like Bane. If nothing else than to be another speed bump we could throw at Lebron or Durant. If we lose it’s probably going to be because our 3/4 spot was destroyed and we needed a James Posey like player who could give us 3 point shooting without being such a liability on defense.

I hoped Oni would be similar to Royce. But I’m beginning to wonder if he just doesn’t have the shot or the ability to defend without fouling to be effective. Which would be a loss. We really could use another athletic wing. Is Hughes that guy?
