Jordan Nwora must step up for Milwaukee Bucks in Semi Ojeleye’s absence

Jordan Nwora is an interesting player for the Bucks and one that could expect to see more minutes while the team is without Ojeleye. He has seemed to fall out of the rotation lately, but now that the team will be missing Ojeleye, he may start to see his role return to what it was during the team’s first few games. If so, he must take advantage of the opportunity.

Nwora is a player that a lot of Bucks fans are high on. He has shown flashes that he could become a great scorer in the NBA and has also made some questionable plays that make him look like a dud. Even if Nwora doesn’t necessarily step up, he still has a great opportunity to grow as a player. He’s a young player, so the ups and downs that he has had so far in his career should not be surprising. The best thing for a developing player is experience, so hopefully Coach Bud will give Nwora a chance to gain some critical experience and help his development as a player.

Nwora’s growth as a player could be crucial for the team, especially without Ojeleye. It will become even more important if he can turn into a player that is a reliable rotation piece even when Ojeleye is around. We will find out a lot about how far along Nwora’s progression is with Ojeleye currently out of the picture. He might not bring the same defensive intensity that Ojeleye does, but that is an area Nwora has been working on. If he can be serviceable defensively and play solid offense, he will be huge over these new few games.
