His game needs to mature a lot to see significant playing time. He needs to be more efficient and foul less.
Reality is that there is probably 20 minutes or more available at the 5. Obi and Chase can fill it. Sissoko is the unknown for minutes at the 5.
I see Obi getting minutes at the 5 every game.

Obi will also being jumping tip every game as well. Even if it's only for a few minutes and then they bring Jordy in, I think he starts at the 5. However, with Jordy, Sissoko, and Chase all possibly filling minutes at the 5, Obi will get plenty of opportunity to get the ball on the perimeter, in space, as well as get fed down low. In short, we'll see Obi all over the floor as we see what the defense opens up.
