Throughout a turnaround season for the Phoenix Suns under first-year head coach Jordan Ott, backup center Oso Ighodaro has received plenty of praise for his contributions in his second year as a pro.
Rightfully so, as the Arizona native has improved his stats nearly across the board (save for free throw shooting and turnovers). His on/off numbers tell the story, as the Suns are 7.2 points per 100 possessions better when Ighodaro is on the court vs. when he’s sitting on the bench. Opponents’ offensive rating of 109.6 when Oso is playing is significantly worse than when Ighodaro sits at 116.
