  • The kid is an aggressive, aggresive rebounder. He should get 6-8 points just on put backs.

      If he plays 20 minutes a game, I'll +1 this. Either way, he's a huge, intimidating body that gets up and down the court, jumps, alters shots, and rebounds.

      • If he plays 20 mpg, I wouldn't be surprised.. I would be flabbergasted.

        • EO has had a solid off season and is better.


          That is all.

          • That is good, because he needs to be.

                I believe there will be more people who will be "surprised and happy" if he plays 15 minutes per game, but then again may have to play if you-know-who can't stay on the floor.

                  He has done much better in practice.

                  I have seen it.

                    • This season he is to known as The 'O' Man (The Omen). He will send a message to all he plays.

                      • With the new board, this thread needs to be moved to the front page.

                        I expect Orukpe will be among the league leaders (in per minute stats) in rebounds, blocks, fouls, and turnovers, but that will still be good enough for him to get double digit minutes. Word is that he's not going to appear as hopelessly lost this year. Even when he had no observable clue last year, he totally altered what opposing teams did in the paint.

                          • I expect him to average at least 15 minutes a game this season. He's going to have an impact on the defensive side of things and block/alter a lot of shots.

                            • I saw a video of the first practice on another thread. If you go to the 1:10 mark and watch the opposite end of the court you can see (who I think is) EO posting up on GS, catching the ball and putting it in the basket. That is a HUGE improvement.

                              • Hey Mo...do you remember the thread with the practice video? Did some searching without much luck.
