Sure, in some spot minutes. But Obi's lateral quickness is bad regardless of what forward spot you slot him in.


Maybe but let's find out. SF are usually the best offensive player so how many of them can any defender stop. Plus how many 3s can stop Obi ?

Teams would just go with a 3 guard alignment with smaller guys who could run past Obi on defense. Obi’s lateral quickness facing prototypical forwards is fine but he would have a problem against guys 6’3 and below who are fast

Ok, but depending on matchups. Against tall teams like Toronto he can get minutes
