One of my favorite players to watch growing up was Nolan Johnson. It seemed during a stretch of games players couldn't stay in front of him. Nolan had a crossover that'd shake you out your shoes and the ability to finish strong at the rim. I think if I remember correctly, Nolan was a lefty as is Odomes. Either way, I think body type, athletically, skill wise and shooting wise to some degree Odomes hits some checkmarks compared to Nolan. Nolan had a awkward shooting release but could dot some eyes, good midrange pull up game but his bread and butter was attacking the basket. I remember the swinging dunk at OSU in the old Iba arena that took the air out. Guy was a bulldog, Sampson put the ball in his hands and let him create. Wasn't Nolan a JUCO guy originally from the East Coast?
