But that's not comparable to Okogie. You even say that if Okogie is in the rotation, it will be for defense. I didn't say I think we should give Okogie a ton of iso plays and let him develop his offense. I talked about his role on defense, which you seem to understand will be the part of his game that could get him minutes.

Right, but if he's playing a specific role, that's what he'll train to do as good as he can, I want him working on his weaknesses more then his strengths at this early point in his career, the sooner he gets his weaknesses fixed the sooner he'll be a complete player instead of a roleplayer. He could be a steal, I'm hoping for a lot more then a little better shooting Andre Robertson.

Certainly not a replacement, but he has incredible physical gifts and seems to have a great work ethic. He could keep improving and has a very high ceiling IMO.
