Feels like he had 9 blocked dunks just against UK. I’m exaggerating but I’ve never seen a player misjudge an opportunity to dunk a ball more than Aidoo. One possession he’ll pass up a dunk for a missed 2 foot wide open hook, then try and dunk from 6 feet out on 2 people the following possession.

If all Okpara has to worry about is dunking, rebounding and blocking shots then I love the pick up. If we ever have to look to him for offensive production like we did with Aidoo then we’re in trouble - fortunately I don’t see that happening if Igor and Lanier jump in the boat.

There’s no way Aidoo had 9 missed dunks if blocked shots count lol

I mean, if you added in Aidoo’s missed dunks due to being blocked at the rim I think that number would be significantly higher. Seems like he attempted a poster once a game and I can’t think of the top of my head if he actually pulled any off. Those were wasted possessions.

Anderson solves the potential issue of a logjam at wing, imo. I think he’d be more receptive to playing the long game. Tyson obviously provides a more immediate impact though.

I’m slowly coming around to preferring Anderson over Tyson.

Lanier plays like a poor man’s Tyrese Maxey. That’s a compliment, btw.

I still prefer Awaka but if we have Zakai, Lanier, Tyson/ Dubar and Igor then I guess having the center with a higher offensive ceiling won’t matter. Sounds like Felix is a more athletic Kyle Alexander and that’s all we’d really need with that much offensive power.

Stokes says hello.

Explain in your words how Okpara is better than Awaka. His numbers nor his film really jump out to me.

I think he would be the best player on campus day 1.

His issues can be fixed. The stupid fouls are mental. Tobe’s a walking 10/10 if he can take that step.

Just seems like even if we are able to convince Dubar, Igor and Tyson to come - one of them will feel like the odd man out and leave before fall.

You think Igor would willingly come here to come off the bench?

Keeping up with the portal on the daily is exhausting. Is Lanier not a possibility anymore?
