There’s always this one **** guy. You know that physical power forwards have played with traditional centers for decades right? You can do a ton of things, including using Norchads mobility to for screen and rolls, and you can run a double post system. This helps defensively as well, you have someone to guard the guys that Omier can’t. You aren’t completely screwed if one gets into foul trouble.
Excuse me for not just seeing 6’10 and jumping for joy. This dude can’t guard the guys Omier can’t. Watch him play. He’s Dewan Hernandez skinny.
I hope he is nearly as great an addition as you (and several others) seem to think (or hope.) Forgive my doubts.
That is a bull**** take. His last 8 games including NIT. He is averaging 13.88 per game and 6.5 rebounds. How is that falling off? He is on pace of his rebounding average and above scoring average.
Skinny doesn’t always mean weak. No, he isn’t a burly big, but with his size and athleticism he can give you something that Omier can’t. Never mind the theory that L isn’t going to turn with just two bigs. Amazing how a guy can develop well in the ACC, be a solid player at a position of need and we have fans whining and looking for something to complain about. We get it, he isn’t the second coming of Shaq so he’s trash.
Why? Maybe a big with 2 years remaining but most definitely a guy with 3 years on the books. Let somebody else develop him. That's what Tech did with Kidd.
Skinny doesn’t mean weak but I’m just saying, based on the FILM, not the stats, he plays small. Never said he’s trash, I’ve said he’s athletic and a really skilled post scorer. I just don’t think he’s going to solve the issues we have, because he’s not a defensive enforcer and from what I’ve seen he doesn’t create rebounds, he gets them just by nature of being down low defensively.
Why can't Norchad play the 4 if he returns? He has developed a very nice mid range shot
Casey was one of the worst players I’ve ever seen in my life. Absolutely embarrassing coming out of Chicago. I honestly was never sold on him coming out of high school.
Unfortunately, it's popular enough to give me concern there may be better ways to spend our currently limited NIL dollars. But better than Casey and maybe will surprise me, so let's go play.
That class was so frustrating, because the first time Casey, Watson, and Aire stepped on the floor it was like “Oh ****, this is what it’s supposed to look like”, and then they actually started play and it was like “Oh, ****, this is not what it’s supposed to look like”
11.3 with the gunners VT had isn’t bad. From the games I saw, it wasn’t like he was getting a ton of O run for him.
I'd be lying if I said I know anything about this kid. His body type tell me he's a stretch 4. But I know zero about this kid.
Thank for this encouragement. I was bringing up the 9er in the way he should go, he did most of the screaming. Brings tears to my eyes to be here now.
