In just three small pre-season games, Jordan Nwora has already made a name for himself in Milwaukee and the entire NBA sphere. After a rookie campaign where he had very little playing time with champion Bucks, the winger has a week of preparation full of promises.
For those who have not followed the small smooth recovery of the NBA for a week, let us make the presentations and explain why we are talking about a small 45th Draft pick on this nice Monday in October. Jordan Nwora is a 2.03 meter and 102 kilogram winger who is surprisingly surprising his world. Indeed, in his three preseason games, the Suede slams on average twenty points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists by planting half of his 3-points and even gave us a nice tip at 30 units against the KD Nets. The Louisville junior is on his way to the Tokyo Olympics during which he was clearly the best scorer and player in Nigeria nonetheless … disappointing, eliminated with losses and a crash from the pool of death (Italy, Australia, Germany) despite good averages from its leader (21 plates and 5 catches with 48% success for its bombs sent from Lagos). Although discreet and little used during its first exercise with adults, the champion rookie was already running 45% away last year and had notably concluded his season with a hot shot at 34 puntos against the Bulls. A catch & shoot specialist, Jojo is also capable of creating his own shot and has real defensive potential thanks to his more than respectable physical qualities.

In short, you will understand, the boy is what we call a sniper, an artilleryman, a walking bucket as Deers assistant coach Darvin Ham likes to call him. The potential and the qualities are therefore there, but it is difficult to imagine that the boy will really have the opportunity to express himself this year in Wisconsin. Nwora has so far only thirty games in the NBA in the legs, most of which only in garbage time, which is far from ideal to establish itself as a major part of a workforce in search of back-to-back. We would like to see the guy confirm his beautiful summer and continue to progress, but not sure that Khris Middleton, Semi Ojeleye, Rodney Hood, Bobby Portis and the Greek brothers leave him much more than crumbs on the positions of forward. So it’s up to Jordy to prove himself and take advantage of the few minutes he will have to prove himself and catch the eye of Mike Budenholzer.… But it seems – for the moment – that we will always see our bushy applause working more from the bench, or even in the G League, than his shoot on the NBA floors.
So take advantage of this last week of pre-season to come because it could well be the last time of the year that we see Jordan Nwora shine on the floor rather than at the hairdresser on the bench. We are waiting to see if Coach Bud will prove us wrong from the opening night, and we are counting on Jordy to provide him with good arguments for his next two games.
