Josh Carlton Co-Most Improved Player!!!

I wouldn't say next year, unless we get another 1 or 2 guys ready to play. No depth, and Akok is still pretty green.

Agreed on 20-21.

Absolutely shocked at Josh's turnaround this year. Kudos to the kid (and the staff) for making it happen.

We forgot what player development looks like around here. The record still stinks but things are so much better.

He was a defensive nat, much like Boat. Don't lose your focus bringing the ball up or penetrating the lane because he's picking you apart of you do. Pain in the butt, guy you don't like unless he's wearing National Flag Blue!

Probably the most pesky defender I've ever seen.

His timing and his positioning have gotten so much better. When you consider he doesn't get off the floor much, it's really impressive. I love looking forward to having a sound fundamental guy down low.

I'm really hoping to see some growth in his passing (nothing says to me that he can't do that--great smarts, good hands), as I think this will open up a whole new dimension for this team that we haven't seen in 5+ years.

Having Akok next to him in the post should open up his interior passing from Day 1.

What's important also to note with his defensive timing and positioning, plus his better motor, is that he is not fouling. Josh has learned how to stay on the floor, 30 plus minutes and only 2 or three fouls.

On more than one occasion, Calhoun commented that he was going to attend Linehan's graduation ceremony at PC, because only then would he be convinced he was not coming back to play for another season.

Something seriously woke this giant up about 5-6 games ago. I want to know what or who it was that may have contributed to this enormous turnaround.
There was a snarl after a 2 handed hard jam at the beginning of the game and from there it was like another body occupied his frame.

Measurable, observable player improvement. Something we haven't seen around here in a while.
Thank you, Dan Hurley & crew.

Again, in Josh’s case a shout out to Coach Hunter. Tom Moore and K Young have done a good job with CV as well.
