Josh Okogie's birthday was yesterday. I bet none of you wished him happy birthday. And you call yourselves "fans." Pathetic!

I don't know how this picture ends.

Likely scenarios:
Okogie jams on LMA's face 45%
LMA blocks Okogie 15%
Okogie passes out to Dieng who pumpfakes everybody into oblivion 1,000,000%

Okogie will be an unexpected surprise this season. Our second star next to KAT.

I did see the Wolves FB post yesterday. I think it was him with a Lion or something.

Is this a loveseat or a chair? Chairseat? Lovechair?

Also that Tiger might be fake. I went over the whole photo though, everything else is legit.

Except really stupid.

I like the kid, but this misses the mark about as bad as most of his wide open threes.

GO WOLVES!! :thumbsup:

What a fucking boss.

Where does JO rank all time among Wolves wing players? Top 7 probably being conservative.

The unexpected surprise could be the small improvement he shows.
By late January early February fans will probably start to turn on him...... :thinking:

He clearly has a higher motor than Wiggins and one could argue the same skill set and deficiencies....JO just simply tries harder. Wiggins is a better scorer, but he also gets the vast majority of whatever KAT doesn't get. Both guys are missing a consistent shot and handles are in question. If Oke gets marginally better in both areas, he's going to look a lot better than his first season. If our 30 million dollar Canuck can improve on both as well, we might be on to something!

Because he is only Butler-lite and not full Butler (minus the headaches)?

Sounds about right.

Or maybe we turn on him because he forces Wiggins to the bench which makes Wiggins harder to trade in the overall scheme?

He had one of the most electric 1 minute stretches I have seen in Wolves history. I'm gonna see if I can find the clip...it was something like a dunk on one end, then a steal and transition assist on the fast break, then a blocked shot.

He had a good rookie campaign. Especially for his expectation level. I don't know if he's going to be some force in the league next year. I think he's a good player now, especially on defense. He's got excellent work ethic and athletic ability, but he lacks polish, he lacks some offensive skills.

He's got plenty of time to build on those. The ceiling is pretty high for JO, but there"s still a lot of room for growth between where he was last year and basically the second best player on an NBA team. It would be awesome to see him get there and maybe even beyond that in the future. But perhaps temper expectations a little bit.

It's a miracle he didn't die on that dunk. Crazy that he stuck the landing.
