Maybe so, but the others are miles away from their ceiling, right now. You don't sacrifice the team's immediate success by benching good players to develop players who may be great in a year or two. ON helps the team the most, right now (when healthy). And again, I say that as someone who doesn't like the guy very much as a player.Because he has the lowest ceiling.
There are times when ON reminds me of a lesser version of Kenyon Martin. The mid-range jumpers, athletic dunks & blocks etc. However, what drives me crazy is when he has goofy turnovers that appear to be easily avoidable, or he drops the simplest of passes that hit him square in the chest. I am not sure at this juncture of his career if he can reverse his stone hands to become soft (hopefully he can). I will say though his game has improved a lot this year. This team is better with him on the court.Maybe so, but the others are miles away from their ceiling, right now.

Agree. His biggest drawbacks are his hands and his basketball IQ. He is really lacking in those two areas, but has shown a good deal of improvement, overall.There are times when ON reminds me of a lesser version of Kenyon Martin.

The two games prior to his injury were good. The interesting thing is that the Miss State game would have been a better indicator of his improvement. ON versus Garrison and Tolu would have provided interesting results as to his true improvement.Agree. His biggest drawbacks are his hands and his basketball IQ.

Once again. I want zero part in this. SDS Can shoot the lights out.
You are correct. 945What time are you normally let out of school down there in Powell County? If memory serves me correctly, that game was a very late tip. Like 10pm, or something.
That’s funny. I have the exact same memory, except my twins were 1. It took several hours to go to sleep that night bc I had so much bottled up stress trying not to wake anyone up.Yeah, I just remember having to muffle my cheers as my twins were 2 years old and asleep in the same room. It was an intense game.
Maybe I’m thinking about about a different game lolWhat time are you normally let out of school down there in Powell County? If memory serves me correctly, that game was a very late tip. Like 10pm, or something.
