Obi Toppin

OBI TOPPIN (IND)

UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: ÜBER-ATHLETIC, SCORING FORWARD

 

A NY native suiting up for the blue & gold, Obi Toppin is an elite athlete at the four spot; Toppin’s very efficient, can hit Js in number of ways w/ or without controlling the ball - should rapidly develop as a knockdown three-point shooter (should thrive as a pick & pop 4 man); makes spectacular plays in transition - tomahawks, thru the legs: Toppin has more than a few signature slams with either hand; can handle the ball and get into his own shot without losing balance or throwing off shooting motion; nice post player, especially for a modern-day forward - makes smart reads, utilizes whatever advantage (size or speed) is available to score (sweeping hooks & baseline drives highlight post attack); authoritative shot-blocker w/ quick jump ability, needs to work on positioning & discipline 1-on-1; traded to Pacers (2023) - reaps great benefits playing with Tyrese Haliburton: Toppin is a perfect finisher & scorer off the bench


SIGNATURE! COMING SOON.
