It depends on what you mean by fine. If you mean back of the rotation guy, limited mpg off the bench, fill in for injured wings, then yes he will be fine. If you mean starter or impact player off the bench then I don't agree. I don't see him as an important part of a playoff team
For now, ninth/eighth man. The future looks bright, though, and I would not rule out a future as an NBA starter.
He is, without doubt, the best overall athlete on the team, in terms of being the total package of strength, speed, lateral movement and jumping. So physically he has the tools.
We could add that he has picture-perfect shot mechanics and a veteran's feel for the game. The upside is big, the opportunity is there for him. Too bad about Hayward and Morris; if those guys were healthy there might not be much court time for Ojeleye, but rotation minutes for him are the silver lining of their loss.
I think a lot of his issues stem from an adjustment to the pro game and confidence in his ability. He is also a rookie...
Yes, let's keep some perspective here. Jayson Tatum is a prodigy who is the very unusual exception to the rule of rookie mediocrity.
He has some nice price lockin and he is here to stay. CBS loves him...
Yes, kudos to Brad for getting him consistent developmental minutes. It's a marathon, not a sprint; and as he did with Jaylen last year, coach is putting up with the inevitable rookie mistakes and adjustment to team defense and the pace of the pro game - looking ahead to what Semi and Theis could contribute come playoff time.
