Summary
Ochai has all the makings of a good two-way player; he has elite athleticism, he shoots it well from behind the 3pt line off the catch, and he is switchable on the defensive end. He needs to improve his ability to create for himself off the dribble and hunt his shot at time; he can fall to the background and not engage.

This data was hand-tracked by AJ Wahl and Bryon Cook. Every single defensive possesion of each player's season was analyzed. This dataset includes all possessions when the defender is guarding on-ball, in man-to-man, and against a player not within their position group who shoots the ball, is fouled, or commits a turnover. The percentile listed above is a players standing compared to their postion group calculated by compliling and weighing various different metrics derrived from the hand-tracked data. This data only measures a portion of a player's impact, but it is clear that the ability to defend out of one's position group is a vital skill to contributing to winning basketball at the professional level.
