    exactly. I'm sure it ain't easy coming off a foot injury at 340...much easier said than done

    If he could be a Chris Richard or something similar it would help the team significantly

    Yep. He's a long ways from that too, though. Chris would have been a starter for 95% of the high-major teams in the USA.

    Richard was a Florida Mr. Basketball, and by his junior and senior year definitely would have started and played more minutes for almost every team that didn't have two NBA lottery picks in front of him.

    Not sure I understand the comparison as Richard never had the weight or injury issues. Quite the opposite on his physique. I'm sure Richard could have played 25-30+ minutes easily if need be (and maybe he did in a few cases).

    It's good that Jitoboh seems to recognize that his shape is the only thing holding him back. He's probably not going to be asked to play 30 minutes, but we definitely need him to be ready to back up Castleton, and who knows if there's fouls or injuries we could really need 20 good minutes out of him. But he needs to be able to run the court, so that is the starting point. I think he's shown decent touch around the basket at times when he's able to be on the court.

    I like Richard's approach to his business.
