I should elaborate--obviously certain things will get better. but

1) Akok is not that great of a basketball player yet. He's not adding much to this team except a long presence inside to stop pentration and 3s. It's not like bringing college players to I assume is a HS practice. That's playing at a whole new level.

2) Having an athletic interior presence could help our guards make better decisions in the paint finishing. But that takes a longggg time to learn. I really doubt it has made a lasting impact so far.

3) I think Carlton may be getting better overall mentally because of Akok. He always had the ability to play tougher, he just didn't. He might have gotten in his head a little bit. It also could have been striking out on our center recruits. Carlton knows he HAS to be the guy next year and I'm sure coach has told him that.

To be fair, he's probably replacing Williams. And he's just awful. So maybe it is making a difference. haha
