Is this the guy who’s supposed to be a really good shooter? I’m not saying he isn’t; I genuinely don’t know, and since DraftExpress got paywalled into ESPN, I have no way to check. I could be thinking of Josh Okogie. Or Peter Jok. One thing’s for sure, though: this guy, named by official NBA sources as “Elie Okobo”, definitely has made three-pointers in the NBA. I just saw him do it, and they looked nice. You could easily convince me that he’s a great Euro shooter that is getting a chance to shoot his stuff in the American way.
For those that don’t know what the “American way” is, it’s doing stuff normally except covered in ranch dressing.
The Suns are currently trying to extract usefulness from their cadre of overpaid veterans, with mixed results. But when the losses keep piling up, I can see them giving Okobo and the other younglings more of a chance than they’ve seen so far. I mean, these were rotation-quality three-pointers in this vid. Those things had ARC on them. He was trying to loft them over the catwalks and back down into the bucket.
