That’s pretty much how Ali Khalifa played for BYU last year. Ran a ton of stuff through him at the top of the key.

Big men are supposed to be in the paint…with their back to the basket. Right?

I hope he can also rebound, block shots and score around the basket …

He's already proven to be a rebounder and rim protector. There's no "hoping". He's already proven it.

You mean like if he could average 7.8 boards and 1.8 blocks while chipping in 12 points and shooting 33% from beyond the arc?

Yeah that would rock.

I said a few weeks ago that I expected him to have 2.5+ assists a game based on the scrimmage with the TBT team. Gonna hit a lotta guys in the corner for wide open threes this year.

He doesn’t look anything like Cal’s Starvin Marvin big men.

His backwards pass at BBM was the best play of the evening. Showed a lot of touch.

Nope. Nothing is proven. Playing in Coastal Athletic Association is not the same as playing in SEC. Playing for Drexel is not the same as playing for Kentucky. So ,yes , I HOPE that the skills that are required from a center translate for us as well. Far more important than him playing like a PG.

Give me a break. You clearly haven't even watched him.

There’s an argument that he hasn’t done it at the power 5 level. But it’s sort of a bad argument. Bigs almost always translate well when going from low or mid major to power 5. He’s still going to be the biggest and strongest guy on the court most nights. And he’s not exactly a stiff either. He’s very fluid for his size. He’s going to be great.

Sure against inferior competition. Our last transfer Center Oscar played in Big 12. Sure you can say that Nate Sestina didn’t play for Power 5 , coming from Bucknell. My hope is Amari will play well be the anchor we need and help us on the big games against Duke, Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, Etc.

You joined April 8 and make it clear in every thread where people are excited that they shouldn’t be. What was your old handle and why are you so miserable?
