Nah he wont find the same success elsewhere. If he is smart he signs a team friendly deal and stays. Im pretty sure he was almost out of the league a couple of times and the Timberwolves wouldn't even play him.
Everyone has improved on 3 I think we need to give credit to the coaching staff. Not sure if they got a new shooting coach but sure seems like it.
He's hyped for the team no doubt but Okogie in particular. He's played with Okogie for parts of the last four seasons and knows him well.
Okogie's never had a big contract before, only one year has he ever been paid more than $5M. He's 27 years old. If some team offers him a big contract (full non-taxpayer MLE) I wouldn't be surprised if he took it even if he would be happier on our team. This is his chance to finally get paid, he may not get it again. Dort's getting paid $18M/yr, I bet Okogie would be drooling for that money.
What's amazing is how much better Josh finishes at the rim than Jalen Green. So many times I see Josh finish a contested shot at the basket and think, if that was Jalen, that would have been a turnover.
My guess is the shooting is partly improved shooting mechanics, partly the Rockets just not settling for a three unless it is entirely open, and partly luck.
Not with better shooting - because Okogie right now is shooting a higher percentage than pretty much anyone on the Rockets ever has. DD
