    Agreed. He's improved on his defensive positioning and footwork, but his hands issue and hesitancy with the ball seem to be ongoing. I've seen clips of him. I hope it clicks for him soon.

    Right now, I think 2 of Condo, Haugh, Alexis are our best front court, but we're gonna need Rueben's size quite often.

    Glad to see Golden has that attention to detail and keeps on them about it. You don’t play the score, you compete until the end - especially early in the season when you’re developing good habits.

    A Great Dane puppy is the perfect analogy for him

    Thanks to @ThePlayer for posting score and time and highlight updates for us again last night! Some couldn't watch (or listen to) the game but could keep up through his posts in the OGT.

    Great start to the season as normally we drop an early game the last few years...can't wait to see how we do as the schedule gets tougher.

    He has a lot of work to do but he has a very high ceiling. I'm hoping it all starts to come together for him soon.

    Staff has a lot of confidence in Chinyelu because he is smart, works hard, and, with his size and physicality, makes for a huge obstacle protecting the rim. But we always knew he would be behind offensively, that he wasn’t used to lots of minutes, and that he has a propensity to foul a lot.

    6 and 6 in 15 minutes was actually a really good line last night.

    Our end of half strategy looks predictable and multiple people defending Walt. I wonder in Walt’s mind, if it is so hard to get to the basket, why not let your other teammates that are open, shoot. Nope, turnover and give them a runaway layup to end the half. How about CTG asking the team to do their round the horn passing and do a pic for one of the guards as time runs out.

    I think we'll see his worth even more when we play more high major teams and in conference play, with his size and physicality on D
