By bench I think he means roster. Kid will start.
I actually meant this season, but I realized after I posted its too late for him to suit up. Perhaps if it happened last month and a scholarship was open, I recall something about him being eligible to play (I think).

Of course he’s going to play, hell play multiple seasons in college. He is not currently on the NBA radar, maybe there are a few nba scouts who find him to be an intriguing long term prospect but he’s too raw to even start for a good high major right now. He needs to gain weight, Improve his hands, learn to put the ball on the floor, show that he can consistently make shots, learn to dribble with his left. There’s a plethora of things he needs to improve before he is ready to even be a longer term NBA prospect.

Good for the team, good for Akok. Has a different skill set than players currently on the roster so great for practice. Having a real shot blocker to play against is good for everyone.

He'll be a force next year.

Can't wait to hear reports about practice experience from the players and coaches regarding Akok
Have to think it's got to help Carlton, Polley, Whaley etal going forward

If Akok can play this year, that'd not only fortify this year's roster, but more importantly it allows Akok to familiarize himself his game to the college level and understand where he needs to improve and be ready to be a real factor next season.

It's well worth burning one year of his eligibility.

It is literally impossible for him to play this year, don't hold your breath

The plan has always been for Akok to sit this year and play 2019-2020. Anyone who said otherwise (like his AAU coach) are just trying to create NBA smoke to brand for the kid and their respective programs. I am 100% certain of this.
