Where is Mamadou?

That’s quite a strong statement for a kid who has played a total of 20 mins of collegiate basketball.

Can we please give the kid at least a fair shot before we say he “doesn’t have the capacity or skill”?

Maybe your right, but hopefully your dead wrong!!

Yah, let's convene 3 years from now and have that discussion.

Love to have that conversation if he is still here. Too much pipeline and not enough Primetime.

Thought he was one of the positives of that first half, honestly

@Fan4ever your thoughts on Diarra's performance today?

 

[Fan4ever]

Would not confuse with an MVP performance, i guess if your KO you put him in with your team down by 20. First play his way he fouls by reaching rather than using his body (100% in line with prior comments). Lost his man on rebounds multiple times.

On the brighter side, came out ready to fight, not lethargic.

Diarra, went in got a quick block then 2 fouls (one an awful one for the obvious moving screen - he has to know not to do that) and then he got abused for 2 quick hoops on defense. He needs more time vs lower level teams once we have a comfortable lead so he can learn more of the nuances of the game so he can be of help to us later on in the season.

That said we battled all night, our lack of experienced interior depth showed but there were many teachable moments in this game we can grow from and regardless of the outcome just the experience of this game should help us for the league schedule and hopefully come March.

I agree it has to help. However, I wonder why Ollie chose to sign up for PK80. Young team going against top teams. Experience? okay I buy that, but....getting whacked today can't help much.
