Expert Analysis
Matt LaSalle | Prep Hoops Scout
A super athletic and bouncy guard, Ochan, has been doing a little bit of everything for the Griffins lately. The senior CG has a tremendous first step and is very efficient at attacking the basket. He can finish at the rim with either hand or find the open man outside for the shot. Ochan is quick off the floor and an excellent rebounder on both ends of the court. His athleticism allows him to guard multiple positions and be a huge asset on the defensive side of the ball, including a game saving block in the win over Discovery this past Saturday.

While Ochan made my defensive standouts list following day one, it was his abilities on the other end that stood out on Saturday. Still showing his lockdown defense against IMG on Saturday, racking up multiple steals from jumping passing lanes on the perimeter, the sophomore comes with a complete offensive game to complement it. Ochan can get to the basket at will with his explosive first step, mixed with a high arching floater and strong finishing game makes it a tall task containing the guard.

A new addition to the Panthers roster after transferring all the way from Minnesota before the season, Ochan is a force on the perimeter defensively. The sophomore’s quick hands leads to easy steals, whether it’s from sneaking up behind and poking the ball free, or using his athleticism to fly into passing lanes and intercept it that way. What’s most impressive is Ochan ability to always put himself in a great position, hardly ever taking a bad angle or putting himself out of position defensively.
