Lot of talk about defense and rebounding. Now how that will play out once the fun begins remains to be seen.Last edited by 1972Shocker; October 23, 2021, 08:26 AM.

I agree. That's why I am hoping he is also working on an inside game. He would be more versatile if he had an inside game to go with his ability to stroke it from the three point line. And I really like his basketball IQ. Basketball IQ is underrated. Go Shocks.
He won’t be the focal point of the offense so his post moves or lack thereof should be relatively easy to scheme around. I hope we don’t try to fit a square peg in a round hole. If his strengths are in the pick and pop/roll game then let’s play to that when he’s in the game instead of sticking him on the block because he’s tall.
If and when his post game develops (he might already have one, I have no clue) all the better for him and the team like you said.

But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

Kenny Pohto is going to show he has the skillset/level of former AZ Wildcat & current NBAer Lauri Markkanen (sp?).
But with Mo gobbling minutes, & playing for Wichita State vs. Being a hyped signee for Mr. Faucet Pits, he will be here 3 seasons before jumping early for a professional career.
This season: 6.8 ppg 4.8 rpg .7 bpg (42% from 3)
Year 2 stats: 12.1 ppg 6.4 rpg 1.7 bpg(37.9% from 3)
Year 3 stats: 14.6 ppg 6.8 rpg 2.3 bpg(44.6% from 3)
