Will Amida have a 30-15 games this year

[White Dwarf]

I'll settle for a bunch of triple doubles.

It's hard to score 30 and rebound 15 in 25 minutes per game which is what Amida will be playing. KO is not going to keep Phil Nolan and Kentan Facey on the bench so that Amida can score 30.

Brimah isn't going to score 30 points in a game this year, but if he were playing well enough to do so, he wouldn't get subbed out for Nolan or Facey.

God I love preseason. Everyone so brimming full of potential. 30-15!! I would put high odds on him not getting to either, let alone in the same game!

Don't you mean Briming?

 

[joober jones]

Yeah, but it was millimeters

No, it was Hilton Units.

 

[mauconnfan]

As in a game where he has 30 or more points and 15 or more rebounds. I say he will.

There will be a game where he and The Rock get 175 rebounds between them...... If he throws in 30 pts we probably come out with a W.

Brimah is not Moses Malone. Think Walter McCarthy from Kentucky.

 

[Jluc]

No.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

If Brimah can cut down on the fouls I think an average of 10 pts, 6-8 rebounds, and 3 blocks a game is achievable.

 

[Stainmaster]

I thought Lubin was grabbing all of our rebounds this year?

 

[Chin Diesel]

The whole premise of the original post is off.

Will Amida Brimah get 30 pts and 15 rebounds in a game? That's not debatable.

The real question is how many 30 pt / 15 rebounds will he have. I put the over/under around 35 times this season.

That has to be one of the oddest comparisons I've ever heard.

 

[intlzncster]

He may have been mechanical but Emeka averaged 15.9 ppg his sophomore year and 17.6 ppg his junior year. I'll go on the record and say Amida won't average as much as either of those years before he leaves UConn. So put me in the camp that says he won't record a 30/15 game.

I don't know where this meme that Emeka wasn't a fantastic offensive player came from, but I've noticed it a number of times lately. Kid was not First Team AA nor 1a to Jameer Nelson's 1 for NPOY just because he could block a few shots. Putting up 18 in the second half against Duke in the 2004 FF was no accident.

It's only odd if you discount the Ryan Boatright is somewhere between Tiny Archibald and Magic Johnson comparison.

 

[TheChamps990411]

No he wont. I will say this though while most of us disagree with you i think many of us agree he could have a break out season and really assert himself as one of the best bigs in the country. Kids got talent and the work ethic and enthusiasm to go with it. we`re lucky to have him. I love the kid.

You and Freescooter are antithetic posters.

 

[ColoradoUCFan]

Don't count Lubin out

Lubin is a one and done.

Walter was a lanky shot blocker who could hit a jumper. That is where Brimah is headed. He is not going to push any NBA centers out of the middle without thirty lb weight gain. He has a nice touch on his three throws that will translate to a nice little jumper. He can run the floor and block shots.

 

[PAHusky]

Lubin is a one and done.

Don't be an idiot - Lubin is a none and done. Based solely on his chiseled physique and the obviously deserved hype coming from this message board, the kid is doing the right thing and voluntarily sitting out this year so he doesn't get injured and jeopardize his position as a lock for next year's lottery.

 

[pj]

I thought Lubin was grabbing all of our rebounds this year?

In 4 minutes per game.

 

[patrick]

I think the 30 is a lot more likely than the 15.

Really? I would say the opposite.
I understand there will be a lot of scoring chances with no Napier, Neils, and DD but 30 is alot for somebody that won't hit a 3.

Now there is the question:

Will Brimah attempt a 3?

15 boards seems almost impossible to me. If Ollie does want to play up tempo AND if AB becomes the low post weapon I think he will be this year then an early season 30 against one of our lesser opponents seems plausible. 15 boards seems out of the realm of reason.

 

[IMind]

caron got 29-15 in 2002 against stjohns(we lost). harder to look up as you get farther back

How many rebounds did Donyell have in either of his 42 pt games in '94. I'm too lazy to download the media guide to look up the box scores... and I can't find them with a 5 minute internet search.

13 and 9.

Going for the block means you're out of position for the rebound. Tough to pull down 15 normally, let alone when you're not boxing out.
