Olatunji on his experience w/ his new teammates thus far, who he’s excited to play with in and describes his playing style for those unfamiliar with him. I asked for his strengths- he just wants to improve- an interesting answer. And finally- how he thinks fans will describe him a year from now 🔥🔥🔥
