Let’s do it proper.
The big fellow logged a mere 18 mins and had +40 in the game. Both our defense and offense is night and day from without him.

His health is the bedrock of the team!
No more bashing, only cheering and support for the big guy!

This is actually ridiculous. His defensive impact really transcends the eye test... and he looks like the best defender in the conference by the eye test.

The game changer is now that his mobility and conditioning is back, he looks like the version of DC we expected this year - that month on the shelf did wonders for his ability to move around and just command the paint.
 
If this is his base level performance when healthy and in shape plus continues to show touch and ability from outside , in addition to his vision/passing. A deep UConn run will have his draft stock sky rocket imo.
 
Love what Donovan brings to the team. Really don't like the nickname. Not sure how he feels about it.

What bashing? We’ve done nothing but sing his praises for 2 years!
His health and being on the floor is everything. Maybe we line his uniform with styrofoam.

Not so much here, but there was plenty of early-season bashing on Twitter. Was totally unfair, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen

Considering he's filed for a trademark for the name, I'd bet he's fine with it.

He did that to spike it.

/s (maybe?)
 
Broadcast yesterday that said he lost 10-15lbs during his time off as he worked on conditioning and diet... that's crazy to lose that muc weight mid-season, but it's paid off!

Cling Kong looks much more spry running the floor and closing out. His conditioning is improved... didn't seem winded in his minutes for the first time all year. His defensive impact in the paint is on par with Thabeet/Okafor. Game-changing.

On offense, that rediscovered quickness combined with length and height is basically a cheat code on the offensive glass. And he keeps making strides and getting coached up on his footwork. That drop-step bucket started at the foul line was a thing of beauty.

Our ceiling of a national championship becomes much more achievable with him healthy and well-conditoned. Fingers and toes crossed that he can stay that way for the next 2 months.

Wasnt their a report he is 7-3 w no shoes this summer ? That makes him in shoes 7-4. If true it should talked about more. His movement at 7-4 is elite, go look at his peers in that height range. Wemby doesn’t count.
