Otto with 22 more in another win tonight - but only one rebound. Guess he is listening to the staff's pleas to shoot the ball.

And to think there were people on here who thought that Whittington, Bennimon, Glenn Rice jr. and Copeland would be much better Pro players than Otto. Keep proving them wrong, Otto! I honestly don't recall that. Is this true? Benimon and Rice included? I could understand the hype around Whit and Isaac early on but those two? Really? Either way, keep rolling, Otto! It was during that two year period where Otto was considered a bust that people were slagging off on him and giving up on him as even an NBA rotation player.

A lot of players have raw skill (Whittington, J Smith, Copeland), but Otto has a great work ethic. Ultimately, that's a HUGE differentiator. Hard Work Otto Porter.

Otto's gonna get the max and he deserves it. Better every year, growing into a stretch 4 option, defends very well, and is a consummate pro.

Hollis got waived before his contract became fully guaranteed this year. Hopefully someone picks him up.

From libertyballers www.libertyballers.com/2017/1/5/14171296/philadelphia-76ers-trust-the-process-hollis-thompson-waivedFrom thearticle comments: ▼ I’ve been saying for a while that Hollis was gonna be the last guy to go that was pure process, and here we are. He wasn’t very good, but he was wicked smart, and funny, and basically just lovable. We’re all pretty practiced at falling in love with 10 day guys and all the other less than stellar (Brandon Davies) players that have rolled through here, but Hollis was special. You always got the sense that he understood his role and his fate better than any of the other guys. He’s the guy you really hope is going to make it through the movie, but you somehow know that he won’t and that it will suck when he gets offed. I’ll miss him. Posted by Transmet on Jan 5, 2017 | 11:47 AM ▼A True Ode to Hollis: A TTP Original A process original. He was here from the start. He was waived from the Sixers?! There is a hole in my heart. He looked lost at times, and was very suspect on D. But from beyond the arc, he was 40% from three. Though his on court decisions would sometimes make me cringe or cry, You will be missed Holliswood. My favorite fringe NBA guy. Hats Off for an Original Son of Sam. Wonderfully written article Jake. Hope he shoots lights out for a contender this year. Posted by Shane Jawns on Jan 5, 2017 | 11:51 AM

I, for one, never thought Hollis had the tools to play in the NBA but he proved me wrong. Hope you can catch onto another team but, if not, well done.

Otto with 13, 4, and 4 at the half against the Celtics. (Last game against Celtics he had a career high 34 and 14 rebounds).

The Wizards have, literally, the worst bench in the league needs to snap up Hollis ASAP.

During the Wizards broadcast just now they said Otto was out of the game due to a strained hip.
