He always seems to start out tentative, which for a freshman on a veteran team isn't that out of the ordinary. But once he makes a play or 2 on D or gets 3-4 boards in a 2 minute stretch and it's like the calm before the storm bc once he has confidence and is playing with energy it's like a thunderhead building and he almost instantly has everyone in the buildings attention.
To get him going a little earlier and allowing him to make bring down the house I wish we'd run some back picks and see if we couldn't get him a couple 3-4 lobs a game and let the big fella eat. That way he doesn't hafta come down. He is much more defendable when they make him put it on the floor and go back up.
