Here's the guy with similar size which we would hope he can rebound like. Paul was an unbelievable rebounder for a 6'6" (pushing it) guy in the NBA back in the day! Not too many could read rebounds and get position against much bigger guys like PS could.

MAU - FWIW, I think Silas and Bill Lambier are the only 2 NBA players with 10,000 rebounds and 15,000 points who are NOT in the HOF.

But bad is all relative for Mr. Rock. If he falls to the healthy Larry Johnson standard as opposed to the in his prime Wes Unseld standard most Yarders will be able to cope with the disappointment! ;)

You're referring to the silent majority of Boneyarders! The vocal minority on the other hand......

A healthy Larry Johnson was one the best college players I've ever seen. Sign me up!
 
I think posters of a rock are going to be a thing in the student section. Pumped to see this guy step on the floor.
 
I think we can all agree that the rock brings Michael Jordan athleticism, Larry Bird basketball IQ, Magic Johnson charisma and creativity, and Bill Walton big man skills to UConn. The question isn't how many national championships will he win for UConn basketball, the question is how will he improve humanity and bring about world peace.
 
All kidding aside, even at this early stage I think we can be confident that Rock will add at least one area of value to the team. If we run up against a Behanan or Harrell dominating the post like a schoolyard bully, we now have a guy on the bench with the physicality to come in and hit them in the mouth. Figuratively speaking of course.

I'm very happy about that.

Remove the "figuratively speaking" and I'm on board. Some guys just need to be sent sprawling into the cheerleaders now and then. Cue Dan Cyrulik.

unfortunately for humanity's sake, if he doesn't rebound all of those skills will be wasted on the bench.

With his skill set he'd probably still get rebounds while on the bench...just using the power of his mind.
 
It's nice to have so many different types of pieces. We didn't have anything like Rock on the roster last year.

It makes Ollie's job a little tougher in some ways. He has to figure out the best way to put the puzzle together.
