That's the moment to give him confidence and hopefully he continues to play well and he gains a premier spot in the rotation. His skillset is perfect next to our BIG 6.
He needs more burn to gain back the confidence from last season. Remember how well Okogie played during a dozen game stretch or maybe it was shorter than that? It was near the end of the season after we acquired KD. Okogie was camped out in corner hitting 3’s while playing stellar defense.. then the playoffs came and his shot quit falling as his minutes diminished which makes sense when every minute matters in the playoffs.
Well, why not give him another chance to prove to his teammates that he can still knock down corner 3’s while playing great D. But in order for that to happen he needs more minutes to prove his worth, otherwise this little experiment is over. Josh can’t play in short spurts unless you need him to contain a defender for 3-5 min.
