Josh going against Akok every day in practice is gonna make him so much better. I mean, he was going up against one of the worst defenders in NCAA history in Cobb last year.

Heck I think it helped him out for the second half of last year.

Love how fast Akok got back on d after hitting that 3.

My concern with Akok Akok would be his lateral movement not his up and down.

Sure, It'll take him awhile. But if you noticed in that clip at about 20sec, Josh having to evade Akok with the double clutch. That's the type of thing that only helps him out down there. Cobb would have been standing outside the paint lol

Bad thing about that sequence: Akok committing two cardinal sins. 1st jumping for the block as Carlton gathered and second coming straight down with that arm. That kind of stuff leads to quick foul trouble.

Did anyone see Andre Jackson in that video. I didn't but maybe someone else did.

Yes, he's in the video. At like the :37-:42 mark you see him sitting down as they take jumpers.

Any adequate foot movement from a big is a huge improvement from what we have seen for years in Storrs
