Yes recency bias, and yes the opponent was not good, but Okorie looked pretty electrifying! I am thinking that in all my years of watching LSJU M BB, the only other freshman guards who moved so differently from other players were Todd Lichti and Brevin Knight. Maybe also James Harden at ASU. Russell Westbrook of Ucla hardly played as a freshman and was dynamic as a sophomore. Pretty good company for Okorie. Let's see if he can keep it up against more legit competition.
Another ex-Pac12 player he reminds me of is Gary Payton, the elder.
