Josh Okogie tonight: 17 Points, 5 Rebounds, 7-9 (1-1 3PT). The 6’4 Nigerian guard played great defense on the Splash Bros and provided a clutch three off a Booker assist. The likely 5th starter for the rest of the season, he provides hustle and off-ball cutting, perfect next to 3 players that can create their own shot.

    That’s Okogie. Don’t expect the shooting to stand like that, but he brings all the intangibles you can want.

    Every contender has that guy whose stats aren’t eye-popping but always does all the little things and makes key contributions. For the Suns it’s Josh Okogie.

    First three of the night and he nails it which really was probably the biggest shot of the game. He did everything you’d hope for and more if you’re a Suns fan tonight. Looks like the perfect fit as fifth starter for the reasons u/yerr2477 mentioned, his off ball cutting, hustle, ability to defend an opponent’s best wing and defensive versatility. He’s a smart ball mover too and sets off ball screens…if he can shoot 33% from 3 again…it doesn’t have to be crazy. Just not be a total zero as a shooter. He’s worked hard on that shot.

    Suns roster in general makes a whole lot of sense. Very well crafted by their front office and James Jones.
