Westbrook will get us more wins, but I think he will hurt the team chemistry and what we are trying to build here.
I'd much rather get someone who is a better distributor and defender.
Wish there was a way to get a younger and more well rounded guard on here.
Hey ballboy, I don't see any science in what you wrote — and it's long past time for:
STFU and GTFO!

Tall, dynamic athleticly, outside shot, horrible defensively...Porter can play the 3 and is injury timebomb, Obi has to be a 4/5 and is a better passer, but both seem to fit the same sort of general prospect mold - and they're the same age.
Anyone that sees good stuff in MPJ should probably be as excited - if not more - for Obi.

I personally gave him a C+ He didn’t play good he didn’t play bad either. He played decent enough to give you some hope.
His playmaking potential and unselfishness are probably the biggest traits that stood out. I gave him a few points for flashing some post skills game 1.
I want to give him a higher grade but I feel like it would be bias.

The guy is a passing big man who can shoot. While some here are rating him on his early shooting results, I'm rating him on how much his passing game is going to make him a threat, because he will adjust and his shot will start to drop.
This board is going to be like a bunch of giddy schoolgirls once he gets going. And, no, it is not going to take two seasons. He'll get rolling this season.
