I've watched a handful of OKC Blue games in the start of the season.... they're mostly free to watch and as I'm working I put one on occasionally.
Positives:
DJ Wilson - he's an NBA level player - ceiling is bench big. Good at spacing and PnR, rebounding is strong at GLeague level. shot inconsistent from range, but willing to take and form is solid.
Lindy Water III - willing shooter and has improved defensively as a wing. Got a two-way contract and hopefully takes his chances to make shots.
Roby / Poku / Maledon - are above Gleague level talent
Sarr - has potential to be a good post presence as a backup and work to be more multi-faceted post presence. Slow on recover and weak finisher despite size
Hopson / Zaire Simpson / Jaworski - guard play is lacking for the Blue, all are inconsistent offensively but decent team defenders. Hopson is finally finding groove as a playmaker but he's not a great defender. All three could be the 12th man on a roster currently.
Rob Edwards provides the necessary range for this team.
Overall - OKC Blue are solid defensive team but lack Point of Attack presence and weak outside shooting.
Negatives :
Guard - Simpson undersized, not NBA level. Hopson too loose with handle, Jaworski too young and not quick enough, Edwards not diverse enough. Kreci is decent at spacing and passing, but has shown he's not quite NBA ready yet. Needs some seasoning.
Wing - Frazier bad defensively, Watson normally not impactful, Poku and Roby show flashes, Kalaitzakis is a bench player at both levels.
Sarr and Wilson are not the greatest defensively, but overall the Blue is a plus-defensive team in the Gleague.
I like seeing Roby, Maledon, Poku demonstrating that they are better than the Gleague.
