Yes he does to me too. Seems very mechanical. He does have a nice form shooting however.Just seems a bit slow. Is it me, or is he a bit slow?

Yeah, was taking that into consideration. But I hear you.I mean 7 footers aren't usually known for being speedsters.
In warmups at the games i went to last year you can notice it, he is just step to slow right now, he can hit that 10-15 foot jumper though he hits that pretty much the whole warmup period before gamesJust seems a bit slow. Is it me, or is he a bit slow?
He's slow. And that's not going to fly against other size. Maybe against a Wheeler where he can just play keep away. But you're not getting major minutes with a gather and shooting form that slow.Just seems a bit slow. Is it me, or is he a bit slow?
This whole thing is impressive......with no one guarding him. But good for him.We forget this kid was a top-25 recruit when he was in the 2023 class.

9-10 pts 9-10 boards 2.25 blocks pergame.realistically what do we need from ony next year if hes playing 25 plus mins
Was thinking the same thing.These same videos were Collins last season.We see this every year.. Remember how much of a leap Collins was going to take this season? I'll believe it when I see it
No pressure on him looks like his natural pace. Put some press on him and hopefully he can speed up without too many mistakesJust seems a bit slow. Is it me, or is he a bit slow?
Oscar and Reeves coming back is crucial to this coming season, imo.Meh.By his junior/senior season he might be good.Just don't see it right now.
With a Guard or SF that's a very important point. But not so much with a frontcourt player, is it? If you don't have multiple guys on the floor at the same time (maybe even 4) that you'd rather be taking a perimeter shot, then you probably have a terribly constructed roster. I would guess Onyenso should only be taking 3-pt. shots when wide open and with plenty of space (kind of like Wheeler began doing near the end of his playing at UK). In that case accuracy is going to be the important factor, rather than ability to get the shot off quickly.He's slow. And that's not going to fly against other size.

From inside he brings the ball down before he shots. Very bad bigman habit.We see this every year.. Remember how much of a leap Collins was going to take this season? I'll believe it when I see it
IMO he needs to demonstrate in his workout videos that he's getting FASTER. Oscar was a monster underneath the basket but was turnover prone because he was slow and brought the ball down low enough to have it stripped. Maybe this is a staffing issue? Why aren't they addressing this?With a Guard or SF that's a very important point. But not so much with a frontcourt player, is it?

8-10pt, 8-10 reb, 2-3 blkrealistically what do we need from ony next year if hes playing 25 plus mins
I see. I misunderstood. I thought you were saying it was really important for Onyenso to have a quicker perimeter shot (which, of course, is better), and I thought maybe that particular thing wasn't high on the priority list for him.IMO he needs to demonstrate in his workout videos that he's getting FASTER.

I saw him in the Bahamas and that was my take.Just seems a bit slow. Is it me, or is he a bit slow?
Given the roster, it doesn't matter his shooting form. That guy is getting major minutes next season.He's slow. And that's not going to fly against other size. Maybe against a Wheeler where he can just play keep away. But you're not getting major minutes with a gather and shooting form that slow.
My point was that on most teams he's not getting many minutes with his current status. And on this roster unless those guys around him are shooting lights out, they are going to sag off them and he's going to get exposed and eat some leather.Given the roster, it doesn't matter his shooting form.

Lol I do not want Ugonna on the perimeter. He needs to be ripping the net off the rim.I see. I misunderstood.

The kid actually has a pretty good looking shot. I am excited to see what he can do this year with the leash off.We forget this kid was a top-25 recruit when he was in the 2023 class.

He better make a huge leap. At this point we need some dudes just to practice and the top 7 better be NBA level from the first month on.We forget this kid was a top-25 recruit when he was in the 2023 class.

Nice form and stuff but yes it’s very mechanical, not something that comes natural. I’d worry in game speed about him being able to do this. Defense, getting fouled, or pure rushing.Just seems a bit slow. Is it me, or is he a bit slow?
Of course not but guys like AD, Nerlens, and WCS we very Fluid, even Richards moved gracefully. He just didn’t have hands his first 2 years. Ugo looks too mechanical and robotic when he moves. Granted those other guys were top 10 talents/lotto picks.I mean 7 footers aren't usually known for being speedsters.
Exactly and sadly this is what it’s looking like unfortunately!If he's our starting center this season we are in trouble.
If only you were on the staff. You seem to know alot about it.Shot looks good. Frame is filling out. Wife shoulders. Lots of muscle definition. Like to see him working on posts moves. Drop steps. Shooting the ball over both shoulders.
