Who?
Meh. He's averaging 6 PPG on 43% shooting. He's their 7th leading scorer and 3rd leading rebounder. 3 blocks though.
Tyler Lydon was twice the player he was as a freshman. Not even close. If he was on Syracuse putting up those numbers people would say he was overrated.
Defensively he’s been great and has a good motor, he’d be a killer in the zone. Offensively they don’t use him much and he’s not great on the end right now.
great point.
Have you watched him play? When he can stay in the game he is a difference maker. If he was doing for us what he does for uconn he would be our starting center.
He's not great offensively (not many freshman big guys are), but he is satisfactory and getting better.
It’d be interesting how JB would use him. I don’t think he’d start at the 5, he’s more of a wing - but he gives a lot less offensively than Marek. QG has a different skill set than Akok and I think QG right now fits our offense better and is a better overall rebounder. Akok woulda played the 5 in a backup role though
Yeah he is what he is right now on offense. Lydon was a stud from day 1 on both sides though
Me too. I will never forgive Indiana for 1987 and do not like them. However, the husky dogs are beyond sickening. So glad to see hurley lose again. I don't think it will happen because the AAC is not a great conference but 4 straight losing seasons would be highly enjoyable.
Lol ok
AAC is awful this year. Cincy is down. Memphis will be in the tourney. Tulane is improved but still iffy. Temple/Wichita are solid. 2-3 bid league
You are probably right that he wouldn't start at the 5, but if he could stay out of foul trouble I think he would play more meaningful minutes than our current centers.
I guess I don't get the comparison to a guy that hasn't played at cuse in years. We should compare him to our current lineup, that could certainly benefit from his talent.
You said he was a star. His numbers and play suggest anything, but that. He's good defensively, but he's putting up meh numbers on a 6-3 team.
I was a large proponent of Akok Akok during his recruitment last year. I still believe he has a ton of potential.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Akok is gone after this year
People complaining about Buddy/JG3 should watch UConn last night. Their upper class backcourt completely crapped the bed against an average team (OK State and PSU are just as good if not better than IU). Meanwhile, their 2 freshman guards off the bench were invisible.
