Many players have developed a shot. His form looks good, so I can't see why he can't. Already hitting from the corner, just needs to work on his other areas

Look at Aaron Wiggins!!! Shot around mid-30's at Maryland. Adjusted his rookie year and shot 30% from NBA range, then 39% his 2nd year and is at a crazy 52% in his 3rd year! :o

I take back whatever horrible take I had about OA after his first three games here.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

I remember a lot of sad faces complaining that we wasted another first round pick on another one of Masai's family friends.

Anyone now regretting trading what could be considered a high 2nd round pick in this draft?

They will be screaming as soon as a 2nd rounder shows promise on another squad.

Which then they should have drafted with their 31st pick in the draft that they also have.

We practically got KO + Agbaji for FREE.

Ochai will have a shooting slump and they’ll pick the one player picked after the pick we traded with any promise as the reason why this trade was so catastrophic. We already know what they’re going to do, we already know who they are, and they know we know that who and the what. They’ll still do it though.

The Porter and late pick trade made our bench. Kelly makes Ochai and Gradey look good. Brown should be better than what he's shown so far but despite that this line up has looked very good.

I’m not seeing the comparison at all. Norm was more of a slasher. And their defence is not comparable.

Two totally different players.

I agree. He is closer to a Danny Green type of player than a Norm Powell type of slasher. People need to calm down.
170,000+ killed and injured in Gaza.

Never forget the live-streamed Palestinian genocide.

Danny Green is a great comparison. Norm is a far better ball handler but at least Ochai can defend. That’s one thing Norm has struggled at.
