Watch Akok play.  In every game for the first 6 or 7 minutes he is a dominating force on both ends of the floor.  For the next 34 minutes we see spurts and splashes of great play but not the dominator that he is early on.  For that reason I believe  Akok is not physically able to play long minutes of D1 basketball right now.  As he grows and gets stronger he will dominate for longer periods.  Right now Danny must use him judiciously.

I also see similar in Bouk and Gaff.  These guys do not yet have a mature physique.  I agree their skill level dictates more minutes, but I don't know if they can handle them without breaking down.  We all know stories of players who had great potential but because of physical breakdowns never became what they could.  I'm glad for the future because I see Danny bringing them along.  He wants to win every game, but he is also invested in the long haul and understands what the priorities are invested in the program and not in the games.
