Chukwu's much more awkward athletically than Fab was, has trouble seeing and catching the ball, is no where near as strong as FAb and is not at Fab's level offensively (even though their numbers are not all the different). Fab had low-block moves and a mid-range jumper. Chukwu, currently, has a baby hook and an over and under, but doesn't use either much as he's struggling with the basics (catching the ball, keeping it up high, establishing position, setting and keeping a pivot foot, etc..).

The good news is ... Chukwu's going to get a lot better. He's struggling with the glasses, obviously. I do like his positioning in the zone -- defensively he's playing very well and changes the game, IMO. He's moving well out to the corner and up to the FL and he's staying in games lately. he's starting to find success at the foul line, which tells me that he can shoot. I would LOVE to see him start taking some foul line jumpers rather than handing it off every time. He's no where near his ceiling offensively. He needs to get used to the glasses he has or get some new ones, because he's not seeing the ball that well ... although he is posting up.

I'd like to see our guards get him the ball more when he posts up. I'd like to see him start taking short/mid-range jumpers (if open) b/c his foul-shooting form tells me he can hit that shot. And I'd like to see him work on catching the ball better and KEEEPING it up higher so he can make some moves on the low block.
