This is coming from somebody who wanted obi at pick 8.
His per 36 is largely extrapolated from games "when it mattered"...
You're seeing it play out exactly as projected by the data...
Teams scouting report isn’t geared toward stopping obi toppin though it’s focussed on guys like Randle, barret, etc.
If obi has an increased role next year that means teams will start drawing more attention to him and I personally want to see how he would react in this type of situation We gotta think about that before jumping to conclusions on who he is as a player
I dont believe anybodys calling obi an all star. Just saying the fact that he can drop 40 like this with ease does say something about his ability.
As for defense being geared to stop him, who else was on the team sucking up the defensive pressure today?
