It's good that Oso Ighodaro is getting recognition. Ryan Dunn shouldn't be far behind.

It’s not hard to play a rookie who makes smart plays and few mistakes. If If I was coaching I would be thinking hard about making him the #2 center. However, he needs to grab more boards.

Dunns defense is a joy to watch. It’s that smooth type of D like Mikal rather than that crazy D that Okogie plays. If he new three point shooting is legit, he could be one of the best players of the 24 draft.

I want Oso to play as much as possible too but the real tests won't come until he starts showing up in opponent scouting reports. Same with Dunn.

If he was an average 3 point shooter in college he would have been a top 5 pick. His defensive instincts are off the charts. Mikal is a great team defender, Ryan seems to also be a great 1 on 1 defender.

He's making mistakes, he's led the team in TOs in both games (well, tied with Grayson vs the Lakers with 3), but he plays hard and does try to atone for them.

The transition block vs LA was from a miscue between him and Grayson and Oso, and Okogie, hustled back to prevent the fast break layup.

His defense has been slightly better than I anticipated, he's got good help instincts and active hands, but size wise he will struggle with the bigger Cs. There's not too many of them left, but the ones that are around are going to be a load (Embiid, Jokic)

Do not forget Davis:)
