Was that Caleb blocking Eugene Omoruyi's shot?

This guy is impressive man. Had to persevere through a lot in his young life, and is now shining.
He will always be a memorable player. Strong minded individual!

Also remember Caleb was constantly battling through injuries. Maybe he's finally healthy
Love Caleb. Hard to crack an NBA roster shooting 28% from 3 as a wing. If he could just get that up 5-10% he’d have a real shot.
Yet, still, his jump shot is a very slow, AND a very LOW, release (i.e. slow release, and at the height of a 6'0" player, from a 6'7" player ... he seems to release from maybe his chin). On the other hand he does seem to be finishing at the rim better than while in college, and has added a decent fadeaway 10-12 footer.
His defense ... as always, ridiculously good.
I would say his best use in the NBA might be as a defensive-minded PG - where he can use his height to best advantage ... but he is not really a PG (from a passing standpoint), and does not shoot the 3 well enough. MAYBE a 2G - but again, not a good enough 3-point shooter.
Ha - I was comparing to his college shot, which frankly was difficult to watch. And I say that as a huge Caleb stan.
His defense is out of this world.
You think they value that more in Europe?
Showed a lot of people offensive moves (and quickness with the ball!!) that I don’t remember when he was here
Congrats to him for working on his game!
