Kentucky Debuts New Center

Can he provide defense?

I didn’t watch the game. Nice stroke based on the highlights. A little slow on the release but you can afford to be if you’re that tall.

He did pretty well in the first half defensively. Had a couple of nice blocks. The 2nd half nobody on our team played defense.... and I mean nooooooobody.
 
Now he has to live up to that. Pretty damned good start
Yeah, he might’ve created a monster. jumpingsmile Not sure if he’ll stay that good, but I think his playing semipro in Europe has him a little more comfortable than the average 20 year old. Not sure anybody expects him to stay that good, but half that would still be ok.
 
Need to see more. I don't think that was a fluke, I think he's really that good and with a couple months under his belt, he could take this team up a notch.
I don't go to too many games, I'm glad I was at this one. That place was lit up.
Don't forget, our best on-ball defender and rebounder has been.out for a month.

He may be okay down low, but he looked really slow laterally on the parameter. If teams pull him out of the paint then he might be a defensive liability.

Small sample size though so I could be really wrong.
