Especially if we are still shooting bricks and scoring 2-3 points in a 5-6 minute time span and getting out scored 14-2....which was a reoccurring theme last year!All of that good character and good culture won't mean shit if we're still losing games for the sake of player development.
Brown was 6’6.75” in shoes, 6’11.75” wingspan, 223 LBs at the combine. I doubt Okoro is near the height or wingspan numbers. Why do you guys think he’s bigger?
Because he's thicker. Stronger.
Tighter too.
But less explosive.
If he is, it's not by much. Which is fine because he's strong enough to get to the basket through contact.
Against the children who play college basketball. You can’t play bully ball and be built like he is. Dudes going to get worked in any type of ISO setting by grown men.
Also can anyone show me a correlation between defense and length? Genuinely curious because a lot of "pitbull" defenders in the NBA aren't freakishly long or anything, they are strong, smart, and put in effort. Exactly what Okoro is.
And is there a website with shooting splits, eg within 5 feet, or catch-and-shoot 3's, for NCAA?
