Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2002907, member: 489"] Pretty simple career. Made a play that will forever play in to our legacy as a program. Timing is everything to many, that one had just that. Great kid, enthusiastic, not very coachable and not someone with the natural instincts to be able to comprehend. Blocked shots, not great shot blocker as some believe but he did block shots. Great one's keep a few in play, but he still had some impact games blocking shots in runs where we needed him to do so, I applaud him for that. The insinuation that he was a great defender because he blocked shots will always be amusing to me because besides the blocked shots, he was only decent at best and that is pushing it. Also had many games when 6'7 centers abused him in the lane but many forget those, sorry I find it difficult. Never got better on offense, and never got better rebounding the ball or staying in the game. He will find a place in Euro ball or something alike, but the game won't change for him he just doesn't get it. "It is what it is and soon to be was what it was" [/QUOTE]
