He was a tall, fast PG with a good handle that could shoot just as well as Hanlan. Troy Bell was similar physically, but he had a much better shot than Hanlan (he also didn't do anything in the NBA).Bravesbillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132085833230451082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-64886238340673334852015-02-26T09:57:49.919-05:002015-02-26T09:57:49.919-05:00Totally unscientific but I think he's a first ...Totally unscientific but I think he's a first rounder. All my insight is BC related. I compare him to Troy and Reggie. The way he has played this year in league is every bit as good if not better than those 2. I think Reggie had a physical advantage but that's it. O has been surrounded by nothing and still has been sensational. Last year I was of completely the opposite opinion. The kid has really come on like gangbusters. I hope for his sake I'm right. He's really played his heart out under just awful circunstances. Next year will be just more of the same from our hoop team. I don't see how he can benefit from that. He should finish his degree in the off season in future years and BC should help him all they can in that endeavor.

He has been on a great one but he has a few major issues going for him... He's a good but not great shooter while the NBA is increasingly focused on having great shooters at positions 1-4. He's an average at best defender, likely too slow to guard NBA PGs and too small to guard NBA SGs. He's also a very old junior... He recently turned 22. That is ancient for a 1st rounder. <br /><br />If he continues this push through the end of the season and tests well athletically he could be a 2nd rounder but I just don't see it. Selfishly I want to see him come back, but even so, I can't see him be a first rounder and likely a borderline 2nd rounder at best.GP11https://www.blogger.com/profile/18114348784688324267noreply@blogger.com
