Ollie was fast up the court on the dribble but I sure don't recall him making any highlight reel dunks or spectacular defensive plays. He was a good defender on the ball which may have been due to his athletic ability but it's been so long since we've seen him I just don't remember.
It's bizarre how many people post that Newton was MOP both years.
Both quicker and faster. Thus a better defender, at least of smaller point guards. But, as I said, not as good as Tristan offensively. fasQuicdker a
Wait, did you have a stroke at the end of that post?
No he’s billing the boneyard by the letter
I'll bite. What shot?
Sorry, confused him with Tate George. I’m getting old too.

More than that, Newton would think nothing of fighting for rebounds under the basket and getting a key bucket or going to the foul line. I don’t recall Ollie having that scoring threat amongst the trees.
Guys, the comparisons was simply that Newton might have to latch on as an undrafted free angent and possibly go from team to team before getting a guaranteed deal. Their games and talent level are not similar. Nobody suggested they were.
He can use the money to buy an "e" for Newton's first name.
Or Cam.
I don't want any of them going to the Lakers. I despise having to go from loving a player to hating him just because he's a Laker.
