Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 2519418, member: 1423"] I like this guy too, and have been pushing for the staff to add a big for months. Clearly there's a need, given our luck with injuries, the way bigs draw fouls, etc.. So I agree with your post. However, as an aside, your low-bar comparison, Chukwu, just went off for 14 and 9, with 3 blocks and 3 assists ... all on 1 TO. Not picking on you. And I'm not suggesting for a minute that Chukwu's a big part of our offense or even that he has a serviceable low-post game (he doesn't yet). OTOH ... last night's stat line can't be ignored either. Not only does he change the zone defensively, he's starting to contribute on offense. We still need another big IMO, but if our starting center keeps improving, I don't think he's going to be the butt of jokes (or low-bar comparisons) much longer. [/QUOTE]
