Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 3385089, member: 1047"] I think Akok should get a lot more minutes at the 5. He can rotate to the 4 too when Carlton and Whaley are getting some minutes but if Hurley is going to be pulling our 5 man out for screen actions 24 feet from the basket wouldnt it behoove him to have a guy who can shoot from that distance and is better with the basketball than Carlton or Whaley as far as making quicker ,better basketball instinctual decisions? I see our 2-4 slots as "positionless" anyway. Bouk, Vital, Adams, Polley, are all capable (and funnily enough the biggest (tallest) out of those 4 is the most ineffective rebounder). Akok is a better 5 man in this offense. And definitely defensively. He may get muscled but his athleticism and instinctive blocking skills make up for it. It cant be worse than what weve seen, Thats for damn sure. [/QUOTE]
