His personal ability is not bad, but the Rockets second team s support for the starting center is really limited?

In a previous NBA Development League game, the Austin Spurs, an affiliate of the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Development League, defeated the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, an affiliate of the Houston Rockets in the NBA Development League, 118-100 at home. After this game, the Austin Spurs' record improved to 7 wins and 1 loss, while the Rio Grande Valley Vipers' record dropped to 3 wins and 4 losses.

Although the Vipers lost the game, the performance of the team's starting center Efe Abogidi was quite satisfactory. Abokidi played 29 minutes and 33 seconds, shooting 6 of 10, 0 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal, including 5 offensive rebounds, 2 turnovers, and 5 fouls, with a plus-minus of -8. Abokidi's efficiency on the offensive end is acceptable. He still showed good scoring ability and finishing ability under the basket. He also played his role in fighting for offensive rebounds, and he did this with limited possession of the ball. This is even more commendable. Not only that, Abokidi's performance on the defensive end was also so-so, and there were no major problems. It's just that the other players on the team are really poor. Except for Abokoidi, the offensive efficiency of other players is 30-for-93 and the field goal percentage is only 32.3%. With such a performance, even if Abokoidi performs well, it is unrealistic to win.

In the NBA Development League this season, Abokidi averaged 28.8 minutes per game in the first 7 games. He averaged 13.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 2 blocks per game. He also had 1.7 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. He shot 51.6% from the field, 30.4% from the three-point range, and 75% from the free throw line. Abokidi's overall performance this season is worthy of recognition. He has still shown his talents on both ends of the offense and defense. His offensive efficiency is relatively stable. He also has a certain shooting ability. He can also play a role in protecting the basket on the defensive end. After all, Abokidi's ball rights and tactical status are very limited. In this case, it is unrealistic for him to perform better.

Abokidi was born in October 2001. He is 24 years old, 206cm tall and weighs 103kg. He is the undrafted player in the 2023 NBA draft. Abokidi played in the NCAA for several seasons, and then spent two years with the NBA Development League team the Ignite. Last season, he moved to the Australian NBL1 Central League and entered the NBL1 Central All-Star Team with his outstanding performance. This season, he chose to return to the NBA Development League and joined the Vipers. Judging from Abokidi's performance, he actually has certain characteristics, but the Viper's tactical arrangements are a bit inexplicable. The ball rights are accumulated in the hands of outside players, and Abokidi's talents cannot be fully utilized.
