Smooth athlete. Good size. He appears to have good form on his shot and a quick release. Looks like a very capable defender 1-3. Has some ball handling skills as well.

Correct. Let me add - needs to play more minutes.

If Brantley can score on Rudy Gay, I'll be thrilled. If Brantley can stay in front of Gay defensively, I'll also be thrilled.

If Oni doesn't get completely embarrassed by Keldon Johnson and Lonnie Walker, that will be a win as well.

JWF being guarded by Derrick White could be hard to watch.

NBA athlete. Committed on-ball defender. Has measurables similar to Mathisse Thybulle (not quite as long). Runs the floor well and finishes on breaks. Shoots with a quick release on catch-and-shoots. Inconsistent shooter. Has some passing ability, but otherwise has been very limited off the dribble.

He's potentially a 3D wing who can also score off of cuts, but he's got to shoot more consistently.

If Oni shot as well as Trevon Bluiett you would have a legit NBA player.

Can someone give me his opinion about Oni? Could he become an efficient nba player? Strong and weak points?
I've watched him playing a few times, not enough to have a good and correct view about him.

I think the biggest weakness he has is that he is not assertive with the ball. He can't take the ball and do something but he shows an understanding of the game. In the limited minutes I saw him, he was constantly pointing his teammates to their spots, getting open and cutting. He has good feet, stays in front of his man and recovers well when beaten. He also rotated correctly which is big.

His shot is inconsistent, though.

Honestly that weakness is a plus in the role we need. All he needs to do is be in the right place, play hard good defense, and shoot when he is open. I think he understands that. His initial role will involve not doing too much. If he plays hard defense and goes 1/3 from 3 in 12-15 minutes... that is just fine imo.

This is somewhat true but if you aren't making plays happen as soon as things open up consistently, your minutes are going to waver like Burks or Exum. Oni looks like he is a plus defender but it's not like he is lockdown, he needs to provide other things.

This is just bubble talk but Royce has been much more valuable after wearing a "playmaker" shirt.
