Ogbole is almost 24 years old, I'd like to think getting out of a Junior College and likely working within McDonald's and Chick-fil-A meal plan off a knee injury........and a drastic difference here with a full appropriate meal plan, round the clock training access, recovery pool and likely 50 times more practice reps day vs last year or 18 months.
Does that mean I think he's a starter.....no....but the staff is being cautious with heaping too much praise on kids, who haven't proven they can play at this level. Not going to continue to mention how blowing up a kids actual abilities (Mag) can contribute to fans having unrealistic expectations.
In terms of the minor blurb on Sommerville and conditioning, that is also overhyping things in the wrong direction.....he's a big man and between June and January, will be a dramatically different physical presence. His skill level and shooting touch are not going to be impacted as he gets into a college weight program and practicing against other elite athletes......if anything, I would have been worried if Sommerville, started flashing brilliance walking in the door a week or two ago. It would have signaled that the rest of the roster isn't that talented or ready to play.
