Is a great defender. Really stepped up this game. He gets a lot of crap here and i understand why. But I thought I’d point out something he does well and I can see why Hurley likes him

He's been awful to this point. Good game tonight, had to since Carlton and Cobb never showed up.Not really sure what the criticism is about. I've only seen a few games this year. But I've seen some solid minutes. Definitely hustles. He's also our third string center. Not sure what people expect. He may be the best third center we've had in a while.
The thing with him is he’s absolutely clueless with the ball. I don’t really feel like looking it up, but i’d bet his turnover percentage is incredibly high. But, he is a good rebounder and defender, something Cobb and Carlton can’t really say.Not really sure what the criticism is about. I've only seen a few games this year.

Or first after Cobb starting against real teams.By far his most productive game against a real team.
What he's giving is perfectly acceptable for second big off the bench.
He was better, but needs to learn to not go after some shots on defense in key situations. That's what frustrated me about Brimah. He tried to block everything and left too many easy rebounds and putbacks for the other team.
Yakwe looked good because everyone else played so poorly.
He is a terrible passer and has stone hands. Those are his negatives but he is a solid defender and doesn't get out muscled on the boards. He gives and he takes away but as a 3rd center he is fine.Not really sure what the criticism is about. I've only seen a few games this year. But I've seen some solid minutes. Definitely hustles.

We have a deficient big man mix, think about it. We have a guy Carlton who is a good free throw shooter but soft. We have another who has touch around the glass and can put back lay ups but doesn't defend well, Cobb. And we have a kid with hands of stone who can board and fight down low Yakwe. We need Mel Brooks to put them together ala Frankenstein for the perfect center, Yakcobbton.
I was wrong about him. I think he could be second center, maybe he just needs time.He is a terrible passer and has stone hands. Those are his negatives but he is a solid defender and doesn't get out muscled on the boards. He gives and he takes away but as a 3rd center he is fine.
