Documented already through high-IQ, second effort plays on Arizona’s high school basketball circuit, Oso Ighodaro found that following suit in a Phoenix Suns uniform was merely second nature. Looking the part despite sharing the floor with numerous longtime NBA veterans, 2024’s No. 40 pick steadies himself for a standout sequence, first seeking to free his All-Star guard through a screen and re-screen in the second period. Well-positioned to retrieve a rebound after the ball recoils his way, Ighodaro eventually showcases his own creation skills, parlaying Ivica Zubac’s conservative, faraway defense into a go-to soft-touch floater for his first-ever NBA points. Ighodaro’s contributions proved noteworthy, particularly given the Suns’ narrow overtime victory over the L.A. Clippers on October 23, 2024. Playing his role to a relative tee, the skilled forward turned in two points (on a perfect one-of-one), six rebounds, and one block across 12 minutes. · Oct 24, 2024
