I think it's good indication of how well OK4 scores inside. It speak volumes when you consider how much attention he draws.
Guys like Plumlee aren't anchoring your offense. OK4 warps a teams defense like the gravitational force of the Sun. Since he's a good and willing passer that creates all kinds of efficient offense.
As for his D I think he may be holding back by direction. He's too important to risk foul trouble chasing blocks. On our team we can let someone else worry about that. Still I'm hopeful that if we drafted OK4 that he would be a bit more aggressive on D.

No question. I'm pretty sure Coach K is telling him not to pick up unnecessary fouls. He appears to be coachable, so I'm confident he'l pick it up.
that's a pretty large assumption to make...
it could be true... it might not be true... i like to go off of what the numbers and my eyes say... and both are not looking good for him.. at least on the defensive side...
