    He had a nice game today except for that ill advised three point shot.

    Everyone's butt will be on the bench at sometime unless they play all 40 minutes.

    So you are correct.

    Trying to give you an out.

    I finally saw his athleticism with his wing span. He is not going to be a bench warmer.

    So behind CC we developed both Gaktek and JJ lol..welp, of we add in the freshman from next year our team will probably be pretty good. Mike White will have a year where everyone stays healthy. Right? Lol..Right?

    He is going to benefit huge from getting so many minutes. His wing span makes shooters have to adjust their shots. He simply can't take a shot on the offensive side of the court outside of 3 feet but that is ok. Add some weight and he will be a contributor for years to come if Mike White can ever actually keep his recruiting classes

    Looks like he can play both the 3 and 4 with some additional weight and strength. Any 5 will beat him up physically. If he can develop a 10-to-12-foot jump shot, his value would skyrocket. For such a late add, almost an afterthought, the kid has surprising potential. He has excellent athleticism and runs the court very well. You can't teach that part of his game. Concentrate on defense and developing offensive productivity.

    We need another big and a wing. Both who can score when they get the ball. Without a doubt, we need two point guards with great handles, who can drive and score plus shoot threes with decent percentages!

    Get him some time with Mr. Yeguete when he's back from France. Someone should tweet at Will and see if he's interested in helping Tuon.

    He can run the floor like a gazelle. He is a major matchup problem in that regard against most big men.

    and he can jump out of the building too. It helps when you don't have any weight to carry, but in warmups he's arguably the best dunker on the team, and that includes Duruji

    Wait . . . they can dunk during warmups now? Geez am I outta touch. Didn't we get a T in a game many years ago for this before a game? Or was it one of our opponents?

    They throw down dunks without hanging on the rim. I think hanging on the rim is what pisses them off...

    Not sure why people keep comparing Toon to Yeguete. They're not at all alike, in my view.
