| Maymon reminds me of...
DeJaun Blair from Pitt, now with the San Antonio Spurs.
6' 7" Big man who bangs his way to get rebounds and scores on the block with his physicality.
If he can reach Blair's consistency at Pitt, we will have one hell of a force on our team. |

| Now I understand why he was so highly rated coming out of HS. He has fully bought into Coach Zo's system and will only get better from here. Opposing teams better gets us early because in a year or so he will have us in the Top Ten. | |

But you're right, Maymon is no threat on the perimeter. I do like his FT improvement, though. | |

After last year, I wrote Maymon off basically because of his inability at the free throw stripe. He must have worked hard this summer. He has bought in to Coach Martin, and that is a great sign. | |

| Good to see his ability finally coming out.... I guess patience is a true virtue. Seeing him play today is exactly how I saw him play in high school | |

| I like both LJ and Blair comparisons.
He seems to have a a different mindset this year and he's in that in between position that can be so dangerous in college. | |
