I’ve already spent wayyy too much time talking about the 56th pick, so, here’s something one the 48th pick

Well just for giggles.....I did not know that OG was born in the United Kingdom.   So was Tobi.    Looks like OG family has ties to Nigeria and Tobi has ties to South Sudan.

The both are similar size.   OG has the longer reach.   Tobi is older.   OG only played two years of college ball and was hurt half of the second year with a knee injury.    I think a lot of people though OG was a sleeper who fell because of his injury.    Lawal played four years in college.  His first two years he played very little.  His last two years he had numbers similar to OG.    Lawal also supposedly got a late start with basketball.

I don't think that are relatively close as prospects, but I could see Masai thinking some of the traits are similar and worth a two way to see how he develops.    I think in summer league we saw 1-3 wow plays than not much after that.    He will be interesting to see how he develops.
