If Maliq can put on 20 pounds, Watch out
He will, too. He's lanky with extremely long arms, but he's hardly the type of string being forwards we usually land.
Funny you should say this. I thought the same thing. He's got the physical playing style of Rick, but moves still kind of runs and moves like a 3. He will be a fun watch next couple of years.
Players that are not stars but know thier role and always play hard don't end up in the doghouse. Maliq, Marek,Baye for example.
Maliq just knows how to move on the basketball court. On offense, he cuts at the right time. He knows where his teammates are and typically makes the right pass. He just seems to have that feel. It looks natural and easy. Poor Benny has the physical tools, but he thinks his way through the game. If Benny could ever relax and just play, we would have a hell of set of forwards. I think Taylor has a great feel for the game as well. And, Bell is coming around.
Rick was a low post center type with a back to the basket game who had excellent footwork, even as a a freshman. He could post up and maneuver on the low block. I don’t see that being Maliq’s game right now. But he has other strengths and pairs well with the guards and Jesse.
Now that's an interesting one.
You are missing my point… Tyler was a highly rated forward who just wanted to rebound the ball and played really solid defense. He knew his role and was very good at it.
I think Roberson has more in common with Benny than he does Maliq.
Maybe I had I backwards… between Guerrier, Oshae and Roberson, I’ve lost track of Syracuse forwards who wanted to float around the three point circle.
Wasn't Roberson the player for whom JB coined the phrase "he had one more rebound than a dead guy?"
You mean he’s Tyler Roberson minus the 2-3 bricked 12 footers each game.
