Okaro needs to start hitting some three's if he wants to stick long term. I love his energy but his shot has to start falling from deep. Still an active rebounder and brings great energy and length on defense.

Best part is that he understands the point of not return and passes out just in time instead of committing to futility. That is something that not all big man learn at such and early age. Remember the struggles we had with whiteside in the beginning, when he started he move to the basket. Whiteside has gotten better at this over time still could improve.

Almost forgot how good Okaro is at the line.

50 cents frosty ? Damm that's cheap. Haven't had a frosty at Wendy's since about 15 years ago, used to love those things. Oh the memories, now back to the game

Bam is probably a couple years from having a consistent jumpshot.

Okra White is a turnover machine.

He's not playing his game right now. Trying to be something he's not but this is what summer league is for to try different things. He'll play his role solid with the big club.

He's trying to play outside of himself. Literally pushes off every time he drives because he's horrible off the dribble.
I have been impressed with his rebounding and perimeter defense. He has switched on Dennis Smith Jr a few times and done a good job... He doesn't need to expand his game to be a good NBA player though. If he continues to improve his 3 point shooting and defense he will have a rotational role on an NBA team sometime in future.

He's like a freight train on the break with the ball in his hands. Calipari really was holding him back

Bam Bam just so explosive. No longer can be pigeon holed as just a backup center or Tristan Thompson right Bish?

So we really drafted a 6'10 240lbs chiseled hybrid big with a 7'3 wingspan that has grab and go ability. Runs the floor like a deer. Can switch and stay infront of quite possibly the most explosive guard propspect in DSJr with relative ease. And Hits 80% from the foul line?

TT's also explosive, TT comparison wasn't/isn't a slight... I'm not sure why anyone sees it as a slight. Never called him a backup C

Danny Ainge offers free Wendy's frosties for first round draft picks.
Proud embarrassment
