If he had another 2-3 inches of length/girth (that what she said) he’d be a pretty valuable role player. His quickness and agility is pretty good and he’s a smart player. For a 2nd rd pick he’s a home run.

Oso is more than the Suns 2025 rookies at this stage.
craziness- my man only scores 6 pts but leads the team in +/- because the team as a whole does better when he's on the floor
2nd round pick in his 2nd year - i kept complaining we didn't play him more last year - yall thought i was nuts - people still don't understand my oso appreciation but our 3 point shooters certainly do
my biggest knock was him not rebounding but he's getting his when he's in position now winning more 50/50 balls - and all the back tips are nothing to sneeze at either

The biggest improvement I've seen through the season so far is his ability to screen effectively (read:illegally) without getting called for offensive fouls. I swear he used to get 2 or 3 a game earlier in the season and has been cleaner the last couple of weeks.

Warning: I’m about type something that’s crazy and I’ll regret in coming months and years…
With his handles, vision, passing ability and creativity . . . against most bigs . . . he could become a poverty stricken Giannis. Stick with me here. He will never be close to Giannis. He doesn’t have his size, length or athleticism. But Giannis isn’t really a shooter either. It’s his mismatch ability that makes him dangerous. Oso could have a similar, albeit much lesser, mismatch ability.
That is all. I’m closing the crazy door and back to reality.

Man I love this coaching staff thus far
I see him as an early Channing Frye, before Frye fell in love with the three and quit playing in the paint.

Don’t see it. Frye was primarily a perimeter player, even before he fell in love with the 3. He wasn’t ballhandler that Oso is.
i think the bigger size is part of it but absolutely - this staff installs confidence like crazy - our guys trust each other and know the coaches trust them but oso is so freakin smart and has good handles for a big
I was anything but impressed him at the start of the season but the light switch has turned on or someone lit a fire under him.

oso played pg

oso just keeps getting better and better - bounce pass to the cutting dunnk - penetrate and dish to the big flemingo- pick and roll with gillespie - he he can score as a point guard or a center
but he can also cover a point guard or a center - more switches than a 64 impala - ott smiling diabolically in the back ground - knicks tried to force oso to babysit the dunker by the rim but he ended up out on the perimeter giving brunson the wemby business - oso continues to grow physically and mentally
if he starts driving to the basket and finishing consistently he's going to be exactly what this new league is all about - idk what his ceiling is - im not talking crazy but come on
i don't care about a jumpshot at all - them free throws tho...

Idk who was responsible for the Oso pick but he’s a gem of a 2nd rounder.
I give a bit more credit to Ott for developing and empowering him.

If he could just find a jumper, and consistency at the FT line. His playmaking on both sides of the court is so, so good for a big.

Even a jumper isn't necessary. A reliable floater/push shot from say 8-10 ft and 70% from the free throw line and I'm good.
I'll settle for just the FT shooting at a 70+% clip. He's unusable late in the 4th because of his FT shooting. Dunn needs to work on his also.
