Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 1195985, member: 127"] The only center in recent times that I can recall averaging almost 10 shots/game was probably Rick Jackson in his senior year and some attempts were probably off offensive rebounds.However for his career he averaged only 6 shots on 58% shooting. Arinze also only averaged 6 shots a game for his career despite shooting 65% and never was a focus of the offense in his 4 years. We just don't seem to revolve our offense around our centers - we've mainly had a "get the rebound , put it back in yourself" philosophy. Our defense though does revolve around our centers. Great to see Rakeem's progress, aggressiveness and focus - he looks like a man among boys out there. I think Baye was the only center we've had that didn't develop physically into a real presence by their senior year. [/QUOTE]
