Player Sean Obi

[rome8180]

I feel bad for him. He should have just stayed at Rice. On the other hand, he doesn't look like an NBA player. Why not just finish out his time here at Duke now that he's there? By all accounts he is an incredibly hard-working student, so the schoolwork shouldn't bother him.

Get your Duke degree and have K use his connections to get you work in the fashion industry.

Yeah, rome, I was thinking something along these lines. He and his adoptive/foster(?) parents are clearly interested in a quality education. Given his background, he might be perfectly happy sitting on the bench, getting a free education from one of the best universities in the country.

it kind of shocks me that he is unplayable. I was under the assumption that rebound rate was predictive. How could he be less usable than Jiggy was?

 

[rome8180]

I think he'd rebound just fine if we played him a lot. It's the rest of his game that's not up to speed. He is absolutely lead-footed for one thing.

 

[deepdarkblue]

In his tiny handful of minutes against Siena, he looked like a lost calf on the court. He sort of wandered aimlessly and never seemed to get in the right position, or any position at all, really.

Going through all the game footage from last year for shots of his amazing outfits is going to be incredibly time-consuming but also rewarding.

In time we'll come to appreciate that as his greatest contribution to the team.

3 fouls in 2 minutes I think. But Duke degree still expected.

Hairston is playing Switzerland club basketball. That might be a little too competitive for Obi, but there might be a spot in the Estonia leagues.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Dson, watch Obi's 2~ minutes of playing time and then see if you don't think Estonia would be aiming too high.

 

[aiw]

How did he average 9 rpg against anyone?

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

i think the opponents were those guys Semi was playing against in high school.

Did not see the floor in a 20+ point blowout.

Neither did Jeter though

 

[rome8180]

I don't understand the decision not to play Jeter when we went up 25. Surely he would have brought as much defensive intensity as anyone else. Scoring wasn't an issue.
