If we get Akok my definite preferences is for Kofi.

I'm concerned about the hands as well.  It was a big problem for AO.  AO had other problems (which we both agree) particularly with the pick and role and his inability to prevent taller fives from making shots in the short to mid range game because they were able to easily shoot over him.  However he kept his defender honest in the paint.  And it appears that Kofi will frequently force opposing teams to have two players defending the post against him.  This should really help our perimeter players with their ability to drive into the lane and make it more difficult to defend the 3pt shots.  Given that we are finally recruiting good perimeter shooters I want that body in the paint.

With Akok any defensive liabilities are mitigated.  Further he spreads the defense making it difficult to put two bodies on Kofi.

I feel Tre and Akok's games are too similar and as a consequence make it easier for teams to plan defenses.  Quadus would be a better choice if we get Akok.

Now if we don't get Akok, I want Tre.
