Must be why he shot 0% FG
I’m messing but I think the detractors are kind of overselling how he was.
The only thing I’m tired of with Awaka is the lack of commitment to UT even though I get it. I think he’s a good player but UT can’t wait around forever for him to choose
Speaking more generally I guess, bring on Okpara. Kinda sick of Awaka not jumping in the boat and committing, and maybe Okpara will actually stay here next year.
I really liked Awaka as a player and he was one of my favorites for his relentless aggression and improvement at the FT line, but...
I want to see Awaka remove himself from the portal before I get too excited, though I do think he has a lot of potential and this would be a big deal. If Estrella can take the next step, I think he and Awaka would be good/great at the 5.
I was going to say, I think a lot of this is like Freddie with the Braves. We should wait till they sign before throwing everything out the window on the off chance something happens
I don’t really understand why everyone is counting the portal guys as definitely 100% gone before they have even signed somewhere. I know most are gone, but we thought JJJ was gone last year too
I do think Awaka can be coached to foul less, just like I think Uros was coached to get under guys’ skin. Barnes probably valued the aggression over the foul safety with 2-3 good post players
