Has been a revelation in the post. He’s put some old school moves on bigger guys and been really effective. There is a ton of room for him to operate with three shooters on the floor. Great footwork.

He’s more than a glue guy now.

Agree. So great to not have to watch them struggle to 50 with every shot from 10 feet and a packed lane.

 

[hoopsupstate]

He’s been very solid. He fouled out with more than five minutes left in the loss to ND at the Dome. That was a huge factor.

I wish he had a bit better consistency to turn and shoot from the FT line, but only because I love that dribble and spin so much.

He's got great touch around the basket. Love to see some of these kind of "push-shots" he's got in his bag. No doubt his go go gadget wingspan is crucial. I'm amazed at how high up he gets these little hooks and fades off/

very important because it's another way the team can score which you can never have enough of.

And the 3rd leading rebounder in the ACC. Not bad for a stringbean.

His all big-man fast break was also an absolute thing of beauty.

As was his great assist to Bourama earlier in the game.

I love when he rebounds and leads the break. That pass to Sidebe was perfect. Any earlier or later and it would have been tough for Sid.

You beat me to it

Loved his game tonight and his transition into being more aggressive recently. I've also gone from thinking "Oh no!" when he starts running a fast break to thinking "I can't wait to see what happens here!".

One minor gripe, and maybe someone with more basketball knowledge than I have can explain. I don't like the way that he often takes the pass near the free throw line, jumps and basically pivots himself like 10 feet further from the basket near the 3 point line. He did this once tonight and turned what could have been a jumper near the free throw line to a shot just inside the 3 point line. Is there strategy to this depending on where the defense is, or just a habit of his that can possibly be worked on?

Big man coach been doing some nice work with him in practice

 

[NateW]

Keeps showing new moves, new shot types, new shot angles every game too. He’s been empowered and his game is ascending.

 

[81South]

Kid can play...if he could add 20 pounds he would be scary good inside

 

[Newhouser]

I didn't think he was good tonight, but even on an off night he is key for us. Nice that we have multiple options.

And with BS who had that baby hook and that nice footwork play as well.

 

[shandeezy7]

If he could improve his handle/strength with the ball down low, he could probably be a very consistent weapon down there.

 

[orangefog]

I really thought he was going to expand his game this year, but I thought it would be an improved outside shot. But, he has taken it down low. His improvement fills some gaps. If he went the way I was expecting, his skills would have been largely redundant. What a smart player.

 

[Jake]

Found his halftime routine..

 

[bballbeadle]

Does he really smoke? Really?

I have to ask, has there been a change in the big man coaching? Seems like over the last two or three games the big men are playing so much better? Not certain the reason but LOVE THE BIG MAN IMPROVEMENT!!!

Slovakian Reds only.

Coach is definitely telling him to go when he gets the defensive board no doubt. Been doing this the last few games and it’s huge. He really knows how to play

Just seems so counter-intuitive.
