He can shoot three-pointers and protect the rim. The role of the starting center of the Rockets second team seems to be very comprehensive?

In a previous NBA Development League game, the Houston Rockets narrowly defeated the Memphis Grizzlies at home, 130-125, after a hard-fought battle against the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, an affiliate of the NBA Development League. After this game, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers' record improved to 2 wins and 2 losses; while Memphis Fighting's record dropped to 3 wins and 4 losses.

In this game, the starting center Efe Abogidi of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers performed quite well. Abokidi played 30 minutes and 36 seconds, making 8 of 12 shots, 2 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 blocks. He also had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. The plus/minus reached a game-high +19. Abokidi is very efficient on the offensive end, and he also has a very comprehensive scoring ability. Not only can he score inside the opponent, but he is also very confident in shooting from the outside. Abokidi can also provide certain support to the team on the defensive end. His personal defensive ability is also worthy of recognition. He has also shown good ability to protect the basket. Overall, Abokidi's performance in this game can be regarded as both offensive and defensive. His series of good performances are also an important factor in the team's final victory over their opponents without any danger.

Since the start of this season, Abokidi has averaged 27.8 minutes per game in the first 4 games, averaging 14 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.8 steals, and 2.8 blocks per game. He also has 1.3 turnovers and 2 fouls. He has a field goal percentage of 59.5%, a three-point shooting rate of 41.7%, and a free throw shooting rate of 100%. Although Abokidi is an inside player, he still shows a very comprehensive scoring ability. He is also very confident outside the three-point line, and his performance in protecting the basket is also very outstanding. He also seems to be a comprehensive inside player. Considering that his tactical status is not too high and his playing time is not too high, it is not easy for him to perform like this.

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 many years and then spent two seasons with the NBA Development League team the Ignite. Last season, he unexpectedly moved to the Australian NBL1 Central League. In this semi-professional league, Abokidi performed well and successfully entered the NBL1 Central All-Star lineup. But after all, it's just a semi-professional league game, and it's normal for Abokidi to perform like this. This season he returns to the American scene and joins the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Judging from the current situation, Abokidi's performance is still quite good, which also proves his talents in all aspects. I don’t know if Abokidi can continue to perform like this and attract attention from NBA teams.
