Watch him totally dominate and put up 20-15 or something....

 

[6xChamps]

Scoochie lobbing to Amida all day

 

[uchusky32]

Good for him.

 

[August_West]

Refs don't call fouls in Portsmouth could be good for him

While I would love to see Rodney get the invite, I wish AB all the best

Kid blossoms at Portsmouth. Becomes lottery pick. Cinderella story, tears rolling down his face, I guess.

 

[TRest]

Can he stay off the floor?

 

[Jaker]

Goal keeper?

Will be a good test for the guards to see if they can finish over a big guy. smart invite.

 

[Kitaman]

Prove us all wrong Amida!!

Why you gotta be all cynical and pragmatic bruh? Join in on the love fest already. Jk.

Best of luck Amida. He does have at least one elite skill after all. Shut em down son!

Dude knows what he's talking about.

Probably too little too late though.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Not to be a jerk but notice he doesn't mention rebounding.

 

[Huskybass]

Kill it Amida. I for one am rooting like crazy for him to catch on somewhere. If he could just stay out of foul trouble and stay on the court, I bet he would develop.

When you are Amida's height, it's never too late. With solid performances, someone will take a chance on him in the second. Go AB!!!! Make UConn proud.

Amida getting drafted would be huge for recruiting. We could say we took a guy that was a low ranked recruit with few D1 offers and got him drafted

Amidah's type is exactly what NBA GM's are looking for when selecting a Center (excluding the do-it-all studs which are a rarity). A rim running pNr Center who protects the paint is the modern prototype. Brimah isn't currently good enough, but he is definitely worth an evaluation and will hopefully continue to progress.

Umm, ur nuts. He can't protect any NBA rims, really. He will likely get a chance to play in the summer league.
