Obi is becoming something entirely different and maybe is going to be a special player
His defense is maturing very rapidly. He’s making reads and is already a shot block threat. He had one stretch tonight where he was everywhere for a few minutes and very disruptive
And the guy is a legit passer. The more he plays the more he flashes the ability to make plays
This guy needs more minutes. Give him some of Randle’s minutes. Obi is going to be a piece for us

The thing about RJ that I noticed in the preseason was his passing. His shooting was a bit off and he wasn't getting the same number of shots (due to the presence of Fournier and Walker). But he was making lots of plays for his teammates.
His PnR stats from the playoffs were excellent, he had solid regular season numbers in the play as well, we just never run it for him. There's always been flashes, he's just a good passer because he's willing to make the pass if it leads to the next pass, nobody else on the team does that, he doesn't need to get the assist to move the ball.
the pass to Taj for the dunk might have been the best play of the entire night.
When you have it cooking to still make the right basketball play tells me a lot about a player.
Before anyone goes crazy and says I'm comparing them...im not.
But he runs the P&R in a similar style like Luka does. Not skill wise but the way he slow plays the P&R and contorts his body and uses his strength to fend off the trailing defender. He runs it at his own pace and is successful.

He has made several blocks that we marveled about Robinson making, blocking an outside shot while being behind another knick player. Seems to be just another kid putting in the work ethic to improve and he has, and he is a good rebounder. Another guy easy to root for, truly homegrown.

I still want to say it’s a small sample size and his shot will start falling soon but I’m also concerned the new foul rules might have impacted his game, I’ll give him a few more games before I get too concerned

That was his test run of the new skills. We weren't supposed to lose that one but think of it as a battle/war sort of thing. He was doing some stuff in-game that he hadn't really done before. To my eyes, he was getting those shots off in balance and with good space but just missing. The shots would eventually fall. And here we are. Really, it started in the Bulls game and tonight was the expansion pack.
We soon will reach the stage where defenses game plan for these new skills and he'll have to figure out how to mix it up and still be effective.

And his grandma is a gravy chef.
His dietician is actually his mom
I'm also pretty sure his personal trainer is his stepfather
Which seems not ideal, imo.
