I think he will surprise people. A proven winner with potential to turn into an excellent 2-way role player with basketball IQ.

We're gonna hear "Ochai, OH MY" a whole lot, aren't we.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Interesting. We need more movement shooting. Hopefully he works out

Agbaji has shot 44% from the corner 3 in his career... and 27% from everywhere else.
Relegate him to the corners.

Excited to have him aboard. Should hopefully show out here and be a good 3+D guy.

He nails 40+ percent of his 3s from the corner. I can see him being a great perimeter defender and shooter for us. He's on a cheap contract, was an older college player, and I can see him being an elite role player. This was a good find.

That should be fine. Quickley and, surprisingly, Scottie are our above-the-break shooters. And right now Gradey is better from the corners, but with some added strength and reps, I think he'll eventually be good from everywhere. Ochai won't be asked to initiate offence much, even in bench lineups, so having him drift to the corners should fit perfectly.

I think he can be a good player in this league. 24 years old but not exactly old enough to be a finished product.

Re: Official Ochai Agbaji Thread - Welcome to Toronto, Ochai!
Should be a solid rotation piece.
Just makes me wonder what we’re doing with Brown when it was thought we’d likely target Grimes which now likely won’t be the case.

Re: Official Ochai Agbaji Thread - Welcome to Toronto, Ochai!
I always remember that Ochai really wanted to be drafted by Toronto and even listened to their advice about going back to Kansas and working on his game. Then in 2022 he got drafted late lottery.
He is a worker, like RJ is, and I think that is a good culture to build around. I am not sure if he is super talented to make huge strides, but he is a competitor and a good to great athlete.

Agbaji is physically great and plays above average defense, but he just has no skills on offense at all. He's purely a spotup shooter and not a great one. If you guys can teach him how to like dribble and stuff, he could be a really good player because he's so physically gifted, but he's nearly 24 and just has nothing skill-wise so we (the Jazz) gave up.
(Also, extremely physically attractive when he doesn't have his mustache, just a really hot dude)
