Olivier

His frame, his touch with the ball, and he’s starting to develop some Grant Williams type moves.
Cannot understate how hard ⬆ I am for Olivier. 😂
I do think he gets pulled for defensive breakdowns...but he’s still learning big time and his upswing/ceiling as he develops is massive.

Indeed...I just wish Barnes would leave him in longer. It’s the defensive mistakes and a bit slow on his man at times, but he’s really going to be integral next season if he doesn’t get frustrated and transfer. I’d be so sad to lose him.

He has made strides even during the season. Can't wait to watch him the next 2 or maybe 3 years.

I will admit that I had given up on him earlier in the season. Now, I see what others were seeing. If he can lift his defense, he has a good chance to make a major impact before this season is over. I think it just took him time to get acclimated.

There were times that he was in front of his man, but hardly jumped at all when they shot. He needs to do better than that.

Vescovi had a decent game. Why would he be benched? Agree on JJJ but he has had a couple of non-productive in a row prior to tonight.

Everybody had a decent game tonight. Vescovi has REALLY struggled to get the ball up the floor. Early in the game he had a BAD turnover. So, my comment was regarding how Barnes benches ON at the least little thing and let’s others (like Vescovi) keep making mistakes over and over.

Barnes gave ON more time tonight and was rewarded. This game should be a huge confidence builder.

We can disagree on Vescovi but I definitely agree on ON. I thought he played better the last game and carried that over to this game. Hopefully his confidence is building as well as Barnes confidence in playing him.

Olivier!!! This kid needed more minutes, I knew he has developed GREATLY. I am a diehard Olivier fan!

He may have played more minutes tonight than all the other this year’s games combined. He is improving but still needs more coaching. He size could really help in the future.
