I think we are all impressed with the performance of our bigs so far. Coach Cox gets a lot of the credit for that. I think he's game planning.
Exactly, but the coaches need find ways to get him more involved too. Some simple pick and roll, lobs, corner key turn and drive, out of bounds plays, etc.
This is true. It's frustrating that he commits so many fouls away from the basket as well.
I was about to say this. He's been in foul trouble, and they seemed to come in bunches (2 or 3 fouls in a short time). Some of the fouls seemed like bad calls, but if the refs have it out for you, don't give them a reason.
"Like he grew a foot"? Now he has three feet. He likely will get called for "steps ".
Not to let Terry off the hook, but Z.O. was very raw, was not ready for the speed of the game but he was very strong also got lost in the Terry shuffle of players.
2step, axing's point is that Onyema's freshman year was the COVID year (2020-21), where no one lost a year of availability. Had it been a normal year then everyone would have expected Terry to redshirt an athletically gifted but raw talent like Onyema. As it wasn't a normal year, we expected Terry to give Onyema minutes when he could, including at the end of games that had already been decided. Unfortunately Terry played him in only five games. There were certainly more opportunities that season to let the freshman get his feet wet. Of course managing his bench was one of Terry's many weaknesses.
Thanks Maniac. I don’t disagree at all. That last sentence nails it on the head.
I know he’s new to the 3, at least under Golding, however Sibley has got to be the biggest disappointment up to this point. He is so invisible at times, and we can’t afford for him to be.
