Just to further the point that I've been saying for weeks, that we do not have rim protection, something that Cal's best teams have. And thus we need to play Onyenso more, even if it means Oscar at the 4.
Our leading Shot Blocker in SEC games, is our 6'3-6'4 PG Wallace (10 in 11 games).
This team averages the fewest blocked shots per game (4.0) since the 2006 (Rondo/Sparks/Morris/Crawford) team.
We do not have a single player averaging 1.0+ BLK/gm this year. Onyenso has averaged 1.07 in games played, but in games able to play he is at 0.67, so Oscar leads at 0.91. Wallace and Toppin are at 0.57. We've not had any team with zero players averaging 1.0+ BLK in the 2000's. I wonder if it has happened since the 60's.
Contrast that to other UK teams under Cal (anyone averaging 0.67+):
Cousins 1.66, Orton 1.34, Patterson 1.32
Jones 1.89, Harrellson 1.5, Miller 1.13, Liggins 0.74
Davis 4.68, Jones 1.76, MKG 0.95
Noel* 4.42, WCS 2.07
WCS 2.86, Randle 0.75, Johnson 0.73
KAT 2.21, WCS 1.72, Poythress* 1.5, Johnson 0.9, Lee 0.69
Skal 1.64, Lee 1.61, Willis 0.75, Humphries 0.7, Poythress 0.68
Bam 1.5, Willis 1.03, Gabriel 0.84, SKJ 0.67
Gabriel 1.08, 0.89 Richards, 0.84 PJ, 0.79 Vanderbilt
Richards 1.27, PJ 1.23, Montgomery 1.03, Travis 0.72
Richards 2.13, Montgomery 1.11
Jackson 2.6, Sarr 1.2
Oscar 1.62
Oscar 0.91, Onyenso 0.67
