He's a legit starting PG talent with potential to be a top 10 PG in the league. He shoots well out to 27 feet and would make the Jazz a better team. He might turn out to be better than Colin Sexton.

So we pass on Troy Brown and Jerome Robinson to draft a 6'0", 3rd-year, ball-dominant PG? Is Holiday really that much better than Brunson for that matter? I like Okogie much more than Holiday.
Yeah... I don't know.
I did like that some prospects were lower on their mock (like Brown).
For the record, I would really like a player from that Villanova team. Despite wanting the Jazz to make some aggressive moves to get some more talent, I care deeply about the culture here and think any of those players would add to it. I like every one of those players, I'm hoping Spellman is there at #52.
I've heard Spellman's name a bit. Just looking at his numbers now. Wow. Is he a legit PF? Dynamite rebounder and shooting 43.3% from three on 3.8 attempts. And a freshman. Geez. Gotta look at some videos on this guy.

I still can't get what he did in the final minutes of his college career out of my head.... complete meltdown..
We like him as a player? Advanced offensive creation, shooting well both off the dribble and on the catch. Great handles. Great poise and pace to his game, good decision-making and passing, advanced and versatile reads off the PnR. His offensive game and potential is at a VERY high level. i hate his defensive effort but I would gamble on the offensive polish.

He's a former fatbody with nimble feet but, if he's a legit PF wll be something he'll need to prove.
He's heavy-footed, but he's a smart player and I like his shooting form more than the top-of-the-lottery guys. One of his "negatives" is that he hasn't played as much for a guy his age, but I don't see how that isn't a plus considering how he feels the game.
So he's 21 and played one year. What was he doing before that?

PG_AB was such a popular poster here that when he pointed him out as the 37th best 1998 born international prospect on DX's list a year ago, the thread caught wind and there's been a clamoring for Okobo ever since. Reports of his stock rising recently have only further reinforced this.

The NCAA (wrongly) ruled him ineligible for his freshman season. He'd have made a huge impact on that 2016-2017 Nova team too, obviously they won the championship the next year with him and many of the same pieces.

I do know you are PG_AB, and I knew there was a reason I wasn’t all that impressed with him.
I don’t hate him, but he’s not as good as some are making him out to be.
