Yeah, he shouldn't be a starter. But he wasn't bad. This is a tough game to judge most of our depth players on with Scottie and Yak being dreadful, IQ being good until he got hurt, and there just being no fucking flow in the offence. We don't have guys who create their own shots. Ochai is going to score on open 3's, off ball cutting, and running in transition. Well, we created fuck all for open 3's tonight aside for some stuff in movement for Gradey. There was no cutting...like none, it was terrible, and if you don't get any fucking stops, there's no transition.
One of the nicest things you can say about any bench body on a night like tonight is that you didn't notice them, and I didn't notice Ochai. Cleveland did continually force the switch off of Ochai to put their primary ballhandler against Gradey though, and he did a competent job against Spider and Garland when he did end up matched on them.
