"His 10.4 points per game were 2.5 points higher than his previous high, which came in his rookie season. He started a total of 45 games in an injury-riddled season for Toronto after setting a previous high of 28 in his sophomore season with Utah and Toronto. The biggest leaps came from his percentages as Ochai was just .2 shy of shooting 50 percent and just .1 short of being a 40 percent three-point shooter."
"This isn't just best-small-role-player-on-the-Raptors territory, it's best-small-role-player-in-the-league stuff. .... He is second in the entire league in made corner 3s and is shooting 50 percent on drives. And after almost exclusively shooting from the corner to start the year, he is drifting further and further up the break, but he's not cooling off. He's up to 38.7 percent from above the break on the year, far from the profile of a corner merchant."
Ochai Agbaji was traded to the Toronto Raptors midseason and became a consistent fit under head coach Darko Rajakovic. He posted career highs across most statistical categories, averaging 10.4 points per game and starting 45 games in an injury-affected season. Agbaji improved dramatically in efficiency, finishing just shy of 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from three. He provided reliable defense, hard cutting, transition scoring, and constant off-ball movement. Agbaji ranked second in the league in made corner threes, shot 50 percent on drives, and expanded his shooting above the break without cooling off.
