For a kid his size, he has great quickness, good hands and pretty good basketball IQ. I think this kid is going to see more time than most prognosticators could've guessed.
As someone who didn't watch the game: How did he end up with 0 rebounds? Is he just not an instinctive rebounder?
Does he know how to box out? Not being flip with this question - it's a legitimate skill, and not all kids know how to do it. Wondering if he needs some time watching tapes of Adrien.He did have one rebound. I just think it was the way the game unfolded. He only played 11 minutes. The lack of boards wasn't from him being out of position, just the way the ball bounces some time.He's got great size and he looks very strong.
We were so much bigger and more talented than New Haven that it looked to me like the players were kind of coasting on offense especially. It was almost like they didn't want to embarrass NH. Defensively they looked great and very active and I thought it was very interesting that Ollie again used a soft full court press and full court 2-1-2 zone press for almost the entire game. I think the game was just so disjointed because we were so much bigger, stronger and more talented than they were that the stats, including Enoch's rebounds, aren't a good indicator. Enoch looked active. I think he will rebound fine once he learns positioning and such.As someone who didn't watch the game: How did he end up with 0 rebounds? Is he just not an instinctive rebounder?
I think the kid has a good handle on rebounding. There were several times when he went after a board that Facey or Miller were just that little bit quicker to the ball. He's gonna do just fine.Does he know how to box out? Not being flip with this question - it's a legitimate skill, and not all kids know how to do it.

He's not going to start over Brimah or Miller.His athletic ability could make him a starter by the end of the year. A lot quicker to finish than Brimah.
I don't see why not. He's shown fabulous mobility. Brimah seems about the same as last year. Anyways, starting probably doesn't matter so much. If history means anything Brimah will spend most of his time on the bench during big games with multiple fouls.He's not going to start over Brimah or Miller.
This is a clown ass post . Even if "brimah is the same as last year" there's no way in hell enoch is ready to usurp his starting/closing minutes. Did you miss the entire first exhibition? It's best for you to reserve judgement on that matter until uconn plays good comp.I don't see why not. He's shown fabulous mobility. Brimah seems about the same as last year.

You are right about the hands. Andre had the best hands of any Big at UConn in recent years but Enoch is second.For a kid his size, he has great quickness, good hands and pretty good basketball IQ. I think this kid is going to see more time than most prognosticators could've guessed.
Enoch looked real good, had some great post moves. I'm just hoping he can get some playing time and develop. I would like to see him play the 4 and Brimah at the 5.

Let's calm down a bit. He will become a solid player but no way he becomes a starter this year. He's our 10th/11th player right now. It'll take more than 'quick to the finish' vs. a team like UNH to leap past Brimah's positives. He showed vs. even Tampa that he has a ways to go.His athletic ability could make him a starter by the end of the year. A lot quicker to finish than Brimah.
