Amari is a Hot Mess Crazy Girlfriend

Amari has overachieved. He has worked his tail off and Pope and staff have squeezed everything out of him they can. He does not have elite talent but he affects the game at an elite level. Yes, of course, his turnovers are frustrating but he has the ball at a great rate. Also, he is doing this without being a three point threat or really being a scoring option. I love Amari. He will always be a Cat.
 
He's the best Center in the tournament. He dominated Broome in the head-to-head matchup. He has cut down on his turnovers since the start of the season. Hopefully he has all of those missed layups out of his system for the remainder of the tournament.
Agree.. but he can really elevate my blood pressure at times too !

He gets us excited and thrilled, then we're screaming at him, then we're excited and thrilled, then we're screaming at him.
I get it...the last 2 games he has missed some bunnies vs. dunking it but....

1. He's been our best player down the stretch of season IMO.
2. His post game down the stretch....He's been man handling guys in the post....backing them down and shooting right over kids
- Ivisic got in his way and he's a bigger guy.
3. But Amari's defense in the paint has been stellar......3 blocks, 10 boards....he owned the paint vs. Illini.
4. His passing is crazy good.....he hits the cutter a ton better than Garrison

Finally, the steals/slams on break....he's talented dude for a man that size. I still feel like our lineup of Butler, Brea, Oweh, Carr and Amari is as a top handful of starting fives left in this tournament.
 
I can’t stop yelling” give it up - find a guard” when he’s driving full court and the times he hits the gas it’s”oh lord - he going for it!” It works out sometimes. We would be lost without him.

Wish he would shoot that 5 foot jump hook in the fingers and it starts going!
I feel that way with him and Oweh. I love both of them but they scare the piss out of me going to the hoop (even though Owen almost always gets it if he doesn’t get cutesy).
 
Sounds like the problem might be us tbh
No, the problem is with a 7-foot lazy ass who on most days would almost rather do anything but jump. The one who routinely miss shots that couldn't possibly be taken any closer to the goal. If you don't find yourself at times wanting to smack Williams to wake him up, you must love watching uninspired player performance.
 
It really is wild. Might be the most unique player we’ve ever had in terms of style of play and wild swings of consistency.
He’s really unique but his skill set is unbelievable. If he played defense a little more active with his arms up and learned some touch around the basket he would be ridiculous. He has the size, speed, and handle. His passing is next level.

If he had any sort of legit offensive game he’d be a draft pick.
