Help Us, O-For-What. You’re Our Only Hope.
Or maybe it’s KBD now that Okogie has clearly joined the Dark Side of the Force.

It’s not joy and rapture. It’s putting it directly in the face of the people on this board with their daily Wiggins ax grinding... they bitch whether he plays or not. It’s become ridiculous.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 7:21 am i don't understand it either unless joda is simply a troll. which is the way i'm leaning.
KBD missed 8 shots last night. karl missed 11. bayless missed 6. okogie missed 4. we got beat by a better team on a night when we were missing 3 of our starters plus our sixth man. oh joy and rapture, i guess, joda.
Remember this play from earlier in the year??
Without doubt you ask me next fall what I remember from last year that's play #1. Favorite player eating my least favorite player alive.Beef Supreme wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:30 pmRemember this play from earlier in the year??

His game is aesthetically awful and it’s ruining the basketball experience.witljon wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:51 amWhy the dislike for The Beard?Thrillkill wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:53 pm Without doubt you ask me next fall what I remember from last year that's play #1.

He's a super talent who may be the best in the league.
I’m emamoured with the kid too, but he’s shooting 38% from the floor and 28% from 3 this year.Rusty Kuntz wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 7:42 am This kid has shown so much this year, next year we need to roll with Okogie and RoCo as our starters and have Wiggins be our 6th man.. unfortunately I doubt Saunders would do that..
What I find so awful is the accolades for his 40 point games where he travels 20 times and commits 20 offensive fouls that he somehow get to shoot FT's for.Beef Supreme wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 6:50 amHis game is aesthetically awful and it’s ruining the basketball experience.witljon wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 4:51 amWhy the dislike for The Beard?Thrillkill wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:53 pm Without doubt you ask me next fall what I remember from last year that's play #1.

Allen Iverson had seasons with those numbers. He has shown the ability to shoot and he will improve but he is the absolute poster boy for a player that can not be measured by the stat sheet.Beef Supreme wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 8:17 amI’m emamoured with the kid too, but he’s shooting 38% from the floor and 28% from 3 this year.Rusty Kuntz wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 7:42 am This kid has shown so much this year, next year we need to roll with Okogie and RoCo as our starters and have Wiggins be our 6th man.. unfortunately I doubt Saunders would do that..
Both those numbers need to come up considerably for him to become a serviceable starter.
He shot 82% from the line his 2nd yr of college and 38% from 3. Not exactly apples to apples, but I think he'll be just fine going forward, especially since we're not looking to run our offense through him.Beef Supreme wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 8:17 amI’m emamoured with the kid too, but he’s shooting 38% from the floor and 28% from 3 this year.Rusty Kuntz wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 7:42 am This kid has shown so much this year, next year we need to roll with Okogie and RoCo as our starters and have Wiggins be our 6th man.. unfortunately I doubt Saunders would do that..

His shot looks good too. It's not effed up he just needs experience imo. He also needs to gain control on his way to the basket. Too many wild takes.T_J wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 9:24 amHe shot 82% from the line his 2nd yr of college and 38% from 3.

Finding his hot spots goes a long way and it's not like rooks can do that out of the gate with the new line. But just think where his overall % would be if he didn't get the rookie non call twice a game. Even once what's his % and scoring if he's making 2 FT's with one less miss instead of lying out of bounds with a miss.Beef Supreme wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 9:57 am I agree. I think he’ll probably be fine. But he’s got to get there. He’s not there yet.
Where does he rank among rookies in shooting numbers? That should correct for any rookie non-calls that may or may not occur.Thrillkill wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 10:23 amFinding his hot spots goes a long way and it's not like rooks can do that out of the gate with the new line.

I'd rather start Okogie than Wiggins. This ain't about him.Moses Scurry wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 11:36 am Okogie at least has rotation on his shot, Wiggins tosses up a literal knuckleball.
well god fucking bless you for that lolBeef Supreme wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 12:37 pm But be patient. Something will happen with Okogie in a year or two and the board will turn on him and he'll be regarded as trash and I'll be the homer that sticks up for him. It's the way of Wolves chat.

Offensively, Wiggins is slightly more efficient than Okogie. He’s an overall larger net negative because he operates at much higher volume than Josh. But minute for minute and shot for shot, Wiggins is slightly better than Okogie. For now.
Name rooks get calls half way through the year. Okogie is just a scrapper who gets no respect. It will come when they start talking about how valuable he isBeef Supreme wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 11:29 amWhere does he rank among rookies in shooting numbers?
