I can do one better:

I've never felt smarter on something that hasn't happened yet. A week ago I was looking at Olympic basketball odds and put 50$ on Nigeria to win their group at 50-1 Today they beat team USA in an exhibition. Odds now 14-1 on Bet MGM

I saw the boxscore and Okogie had 4 points on 2 of 7 shooting. He was a plus 11 and peeps on Twitter raved about his defense. Gabe Vincent led Nigeria in scoring with 21 points. Caleb Agada had 17 for Nigeria. KD shot poorly (4 of 13) and so did Beal (1 of 7).

That's great that Josh was a team-leading +11, although he only played 16 minutes. It's kind of telling that on a night where Nigeria made an amazing 20 out of 42 3-pointers, our guy went 0-3. Still, good to hear a positive report about his D.
