He's good, guys. Shot 36% on 3s with over 5 attempts per game. Great hands. Grabbed almost 9 rpg, plus 1.6 bpg. He'd give us more shooting while keeping defensive length on the perimeter. Now he's likely to rise out of our range.
Revisiting Josh Okogie after he posted a 42" max vertical (best at the combine), 3.04-sec 3/4 court sprint (best at the combine and same as Mitchell, I think), measuring 6'4.5" with a ridiculous 7' wingspan. He shot 38% on 3s with over 4 attempts per game, and had 6.3 rpg, 1.0 bpg, 1.8 spg to go with 18.2 ppg as a sophomore in the ACC. His 2-pt efficiency wasn't great, but he shot 82% on FTs.
He's an NBA athlete with speed, length, vertical explosion and intangibles. As much as I've been raving about Zhaire Smith for his athletic highlight plays, Okogie is comparable and is the better player right now. He's still just 19 until September.

He looks like Donovan, I think he can fit well but don't we need more a Pf or Sf right Now?

And then in his interview he said "the Earth is an illusion."
And he retweeted this.

. Early mocks have him late 2nd round and that won’t last, obviously.
He's kind of explosive in space, but he is nowhere close to Smith. I dont care what his combine measurements say, he is much more of a "smooth" athlete than an explosive one.
Oh yeah, I'm not saying he lacks any explosion, but he simply isnt on Zhaire's level when it comes to being a raw athlete, at least in terms of getting up above the rim.Some of his reactions on blocks are impressive though.
Agree. Not sure where he gets drafted, though. Maybe early second? He has limited upside as a Sr. and there are the maturity concerns. Could see him as a decent bench player. But teams wont exactly be tripping all over themselves to get him.FWIW, I think Allen will be in the league for a long time. Not advocating him for the Jazz (yet) but he is a player.
