Akok says he's 100%

[UChusky916]

"Coaches they all see it everyday, and they say that I'm the same player, that I'm back. And I think so too".
Great to hear from Akok himself.

Because he was in-and-out of the lineup last year at less than 100%, I think folks here are quick to forget how great this kid can be and the impact he has when he's on the floor.

If he really is 100% healthy, he'll be a huge x-factor for this team with his motor, rim protection, and ability to match-up with teams as a stretch 4.

Everyone loves a good comeback story, but most of all for Akok because he seems like a great kid who deserves it.

I'm at dangerous levels of excitement for this season.

I mentioned in the post game thread that no one was really talking about him putting up 8/7/3 off the bench. I said he looked healthy but definitely rusty. He will eventually be starting this season at some point.

People are sleeping on Akok. Once he gets his timing back he's going to be really good.

Me too. I don’t care if we’re playing Coppin State or Duke tomorrow, can’t wait.

I mean to be fair he said that a year ago and most definitely was not.

He looked fluid out there though. By January with some game reps, he's going to be a beast. 99.9% of teams don't have the luxury of that much talent OFF THE BENCH.

Rein it in cowboy. We know elation, but disappointment is fresher.

That's what I'm not seeing. But if it happens, I'm super excited to watch it play out.

 

[FatElvis]

He gets my vote as the X factor with the most upside. He's a menace on defense and a 10+ ppg scorer waiting to happen.

 

[ucp990411]

A very good 3 man rotation at the 4 and 5.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Instead of who?

Whaley. He can do anything Whaley can do and eventually do it better. I have no doubt.

Were you watching the same game as I? I was 4th row. He had a nice put-back rebound. In rhythm 3 wide open on the right wing. I don't think he could've done better with the minutes he received. The team as a whole looked very sharp first half. A little rusty in the second. Unfortunately we only ended up with 99 points. Better luck next time!

 

[Huskyforlife]

He's a major reason why we should have a top ten defense, you don't lose much at all when he comes in for Whaley.

I still don't understand where this offensive optimism comes from though. But I'd love to be wrong.

Except hard hedge obviously. Whaley is the goat of the hard hedge

Some BYers didn't believe he would in UConn's top 8 of the rotation. So those would be "sleepers."

Akok could have a career in radio. Great voice.

Happened to my former college roommate one time with his girlfriend. She broke up with him shortly afterwards.
