Bush Wamukota 7 Foot C 2014 - is a Shocker!

If I haven't mentioned this before, Tx, that's one of the all-time avatars. Very nicely done. If Bob Bullock were still around, he'd say, "God bless Wichita State."

I think @Dan: needs to go watch him play when Kilgore visits San Jacinto on January 8, 2014.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm always game for checking out a future shocker in the area. I'm putting it on my calendar and will try to make it.

Bush had a nice game on the 11th against a good Blinn team. He had 10 points, 11 total rebounds, 2 blocks and the thing I am most excited about 2 for 2 from the charity stripe. His free throw stats should tell anyone that he is not EO. Very excited about this kid and his immense upside.

He'll be in the house tomorrow.

Guessing he will be hard to miss. I might even be able to spot him from my nose bleed seats.

B-Wam had 10 and 10 on Monday night in a 105-46 win for Kilgore. 3/5 FG, 4/5 FT.

That's his 2nd straight double-double (10 and 11 in the previous game mentioned earlier by @The Cat:).

And to compare with the guy we "missed":

Bush (for #3 team in NJCAA): 7.2 ppg, 8.6 rpg, .83 bpg,

Hurt (for #4 team in NJCAA): 9.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg, .44 bpg, 8/12 3FG

Wow. Thanks for the perspective. Not the kind of year I was expecting from Hurt.

I like those last two stats alot.

Hurt starts but Chandler also gets significant minutes in the post. We are not sure how many minutes Bush plays so hard to make much of the comparison.

Poo poo on your reality check! While I have no stats to back it up, I'm going to say that both guys get about 20 mpg. I'm excited for Bush and won't be surprised if he is our starting center next year.

I was just going to post that link! :)

By my count here are his 1st half numbers:

3 PTS
1-3 FG
1-2 FT
2 REB
1 BLK
1 TO
2 PF

His 3 pts came off a nice and-1 where he caught the ball above the block, made a dribble move across the lane for left-handed layup. He hedges fairly well on ball-screens, but he could be stronger with the ball in his hands. He doesn't have the best nose for going after rebounds. He'll need to be coached up in that area.

Final numbers:

5 PTS
2-6 FG
1-2 FT
2 REB
1 BLK
1 TO
2 PF
