USF bombed 3s most of the game but regardless he was able to be out there and contributed some good alterations/blocks and rebounds
He did a lot more by doing a little less.
He also tries to just tip the offensive rebounds back in the general direction of the rim instead of grabbing them. It bothers me to no end. He's good at getting a hand on the ball, but not actually corralling it. If he would just smack the ball back out to a guard on the o-boards, he'd average double digit rebounds.He doesn't jump for rebounds for some reason, he throws his long arms up there and the ball sometimes ends up in them.If he would just box out and jump....
I would prefer if he kept more balls in play but to act like Thabeet or Okafor never sent a shot into the stands is ridiculous, especially in regards to Thabeet.The swatting thing he does on blocks is annoying. Rather than simply block shot he tries to send into first row. okafor and thabeet simply went up for blocks....all you need to do is stop ball from going in and not spike ball into floor. For some reason 4th year in he still does not get it.
There is no backup for him.Swatting really only makes sense if you know you have the opponent's shot sized up.
Going straight up puts you in a much better position to grab the rebound, so when Brimah sways at a shot he only has a slight chance of blocking, he's removing himself from the play.
It's remarkable how many fouls he saves himself with nobody on the bench behind him. Brimah should always play like there's no backup for him.
Bulk isn't as important as balance and body control. Brimah has neither, which is a big part of why he's a poor rebounder and a poor post defender. All you have to do is nudge him slightly and he takes forever to get his feet back under him, get himself squared away, and get off the floor. By that point someone else has already gotten the ball.AB had 6 points in 37 minutes, but 4 of them were OOPS by Jalen. I don't understand why at his new and improved bulk he is still getting thrown around like a rag doll and he can't power up for a layup. Did not go to the line. Seriously, who comes in for Facey and Brimah off the bench? Do we have a bulky 6'6" walk on?
At least they caught it before it was a full break, but damn what a freaking bummer. Nobody needs game time more than Enoch does, and now he's losing half a season that he wont' get back b/c he's not going to be able to redshirt.Dom Amore was on the Rob Dibble show today...said that Enoch is likely out for weeks if not the season for what is a precursor to a stress fracture. AB is in foul trouble before the tipoff.
