I think it's fairly easy to see that in HS he dominated on physical ability.

He had high point totals for us early on because the refs were calling fouls and he was getting to the line. He has proven to be a very good FT shooter.

Once they started calling less fouls/we started playing bigger teams - he is becoming less reliable.

JB had said a few weeks ago that OB is a much better shooter than he is showing, but he has been a much better rebounder than they thought. His 3pt shooting looks better, but now when he attacks the basket he just looks out of control. He is not really being bailed out by foul calls anymore.

But let's remember, when's the last time we had a really good scorer from the 3/4 spots as a freshman? JB's offense is guard oriented. I guess you could say Malachi, but he was really a guard playing the 3 out of necessity. Lydon was an elite spot up shooter so it's hard to count him. CJ, Southerland, KrisJo, etc. all took at least a year or 2 to develop a consistent offensive game.

On a good team, OB is a 4th scoring option. Man, if he stays next year, I think he'll be a monster. Carey, Bazley, Frank, OB...
