Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1191920, member: 716"] I looked this up, too. Even during his last three years (since he played infrequently as a freshman) Onuaku only averaged 7.5 attempts per game. They once found him 20 shots (with 9 makes in that putrid NIT loss to UMass, which I'd forgotten) and also gave him 17 in a game earlier in 2008. He had a couple 12s and a 15 over his last two years, but also had a maddening number of 3-6 and 2-3 games. Jackson was the same: 7.4 attempts per game in his final three years, with a couple 16s and 15s as his high. 6 shots in the final game of his career. (To be fair, Onuaku had better offensive skills.) You'd have to go back to Otis Hill to find some real consistent use of the center. Even then he only averaged 11 attempts per game as a senior (10 attempts over his final two years). For better or worse, that's not Boeheim's preferred offense. [/QUOTE]
