not good... very limited number of games in summer play
Not sure why they would sign him just to not play him. Not surprising given its the Nets.MGH first game with the Nets is unfortunately DNP coaches decision
Hopefully they have a different rotation in mind for Monday.
I watched the game today against the hawks and my analysis is he played well with what he was given to work with. The nets guards were all playing like ball hogs and were not into passing to the open teammate. The only way he got the ball was to get the rebound and push it. I still think he can make the awful Nets roster tho.
He’s always seemed like a (very) poor man’s D-Wade to me. He can hit a 3 when he needs to but doesn’t shoot it that great and doesn’t rely on it. His game is mostly get to the basket and finish and/or draw a foul and be good at hitting FT’s. Biggest issue I’ve ever seen out of MGH (outside of him not realizing how good he is and not being aggressive enough, which I think he got better at his Senior year) is how many times he was unable to finish around the rim. He pretty much can get to the rim at will against anyone but could hardly ever get the ball to drop.
True. Looks like Wade had a 31.5” Vertical vs MGH’s 28.5”.Unfortunately he doesn't have D-Wade's hops to finish strong at the rim. If he did, he would have been drafted.

Those 3" make a difference *insert wife joke here*

I know he’s just a freshman but I don’t see the same ability to get to the basket. Even as a freshman, you could see MGH just had this ability to muscle his way to the basket, get up in the air, and put up a good shot over top of the defender without getting blocked. He was just too damn passive at the time to do it and for some reason he had this uncanny ability to have the ball rim out. Okogie’s just different, he can get to the basket but can’t really get a good shot off over top of anybody. He gets his shots off underneath defenders or high arcing layups off the backboard.Okogie reminds me of D-wade a little bit
