Obi reminds me of Marcus Fizer; that was another really athletic dude with a good face-up game. Also, while Fizer looked like a paint beast in college, he didn't have a strong enough spark in making his move to the paint - so it didn't translate well to the NBA. That's something Obi needs to work on, too.
I don't think Fizer was a three-point threat, though, so that's a big difference. Especially in 2020.
Obi's career trajectory is unlikely to be that of Marcus' (that dude had so many weird coaching issues, playing time issues, plus his chronic injuries). But that's a guy whose highlights are worth looking at to see Obi's potential floor-level.
This is not like when I compared Knox to Tim Thomas on draft night (great athletic gifts, natural physical gifts most would die for, but just not willing or able to keep the motor turned on). I see Tim's career as a LIKELY trajectory for Kev, for better or worse...while Fizer is merely a skillset comparison.
Oh my lord, a living legend.
Lol fizer. Idk man I think he absolutely has nothing in common with fizer. Like at all.
I think he mean Pfizer because Obi is chillin like penicillin and is going to give our rotation a vaccination
