Message: [QUOTE="EastConn'er, post: 2158745, member: 8019"] Only 4 pts for Amida today, on 2-5 shooting, but with 8 rebounds & 1 block in 24 mins. I only caught the 2nd half of the game today (it was online). He had a nice dunk in the 2nd half, but Amida looked pretty good defensively in the 2nd half when he was in. He really didn’t block any shots but grabbed a couple loose balls & rebounds. I don’t think the player he was guarding scored at all when I was watching. He definitely made it difficult to score in the paint when he was in (no surprise). He didn’t get many offensive touches other than a dunk. I think two other times they tried to get the ball to him…. One was a low pass below his knees, which he couldn’t catch & another attempt was a really bad pass by a guard that was not even close enough for Amida to catch (most likely because of being unfamiliar with each other). I think Amida was 17-24 from the field over 3 games, which is pretty impressive. Overall, I think he intrigued some teams over the 3 games. Not saying he’ll be drafted, but hopefully he gets an NBA Combine invite next month or even Summer League offers for July. I don’t think he hurt himself at Portsmouth at all. Wishing him the best of luck. He’s one of our own, so I’ll always wish the best for him. :) [/QUOTE]
