Just wanted to point out some good news amidst all the angst over our unsettled back-court. Chukwu logged only 17 minutes against EW - 6 pts on 2/2 field goals, 6 boards. Against Morehead - a much more challenging opponent with smaller/quicker players that a 7'2 center would normally struggle against - he went off for 14 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks. Adding Sidibe's 4 points and 8 rebounds (in 9 minutes), that's 18 points, 18 rebounds and 7 blocks for our "non-scoring" center position in a single game. Not bad.

We all knew Chukwu was good on D. Second in the league last year in blocks, and this year he's likely to lead the league. But from a 5.4 ppg average in 2017-18, I'm thinking his offense could double this year. His foul shooting is improved, and he's showing an elbow jumper I hope we see in a game soon. He won't dominate against every team like he did Saturday night. But my hope is, if he can give us 10 points per game and 3 blocks, plus what Sidibe can provide as he gets back to 100%, this could be the most balanced offense we've had in years.
