Yesterday I joked that Georgia Tech had such bad offense that without George passing to them, the Yellow Jackets might go games without scoring. Souare, unfortunately, is one of those terrible offensive players.
Souare is a total project. Extremely live body, long arms, quick feet, seems to have quick hands.
The only extended video of Souare without watching full games was from two years ago, around the time I’m guessing he touched a basketball for the first time. His national u18 team was playing in some tournament.
Watching that video of the u18 international play was painful. Every team had completely unskilled players. Many of them were long limbed and very athletic, but looked clumsy playing basketball. The US u15 team would demolish all of them.
Souare has at least been in the United States two years, and played 510 minutes for Georgia Tech. He’s probably better, and definitely not as thin. Someday he might be a baller and not an athlete that happened to start playing basketball. Maybe, with luck, that will be here. It’s shocking to me that he averaged 20 minutes on an ACC team in conference play.
My first takeaway looking at his advanced stats and his lack of highlights is that we have decided Freeman can play center and White is ready to play big minutes in the ACC, because we can’t rely on Souare for more than a few minutes a half if we want to win anything.
I’m going to suffer through 12 minutes of the Clemson-GT condensed game to see if any highlights are worth mentioning. Pour a beer out.
