He would be averaging 15 PPG on the Warriors. His off-ball movement is something very few NBA players achieve; NBA players spend all their energy driving 1:1 or standing at the 3 point line. Very few, outside of Golden State, expend the energy to cut hard on play after play when you only get that ball 1 out of 10 times. It's simply not worth their effort.
Obi is a Jason Giambi / Moneyball of the NBA. He's not the guy who gets 0.300 / 40 / 100. He just gets on base and scores your team runs. And playing with a guy like Steph / Tristan who turn defenders heads he would rack up a lot of points + assists by filling a gap.
Gads I hope he gets traded soon.
