Skal steps up today

Yeah I doubt he is doing it against a team like this I think by late January he will be great but for the next 4-6 games i expect him maybe to average 8 and 4 and most of that will be on free throws and put backs . Lee and Poythress are head and shoulders better then him and they should be .
 
Not gonna happen OP. He is a bit of an enigma right now. he looks more Frosh WCS than a frosh Towns, AD, Cousins or Noel type player.
 
Just imagine Skal guarding Demarcus cousins.

im sorry but if I'm a GM there's no way I take him. I usually don't say that, but this time no way.
 
Not sure when it's going to happen with Skal, he looked better his first three games than his last few, looks like he is lost and not playing hard but I know he is trying, he needs to be a defensive enforcer around the basket even if his offense is slow to develop.
 
0 points and 0 rebounds for the "top 5 NBA pick"

Dude sucks, straight up sucks.

So far, easily most disappointing Cal has gotten at UK
 
Save for that one-game explosion he had, Skal has been performing like one of the 10 worst top 10 recruits I have ever seen. He makes Chane Behanan look like an All-NBA player

You will be bashed by someone, but you're not wrong. So far, easily the worst top 10 recruit cal has brought. This was always the fear with the system. What happens when he misses on a "must" recruit?

Hopefully Skal is just messing around and joking or something.

And you suck as a poster. Easily the most disappointing poster that constantly bitches every game thread.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment of him being disappointing, but saying a player sucks is lame and immature. You better hope he stops "sucking" or this team goes nowhere this season.
 
We had a kid in HS that was tall and athletic. Coach talked him into coming out for basketball thinking he had some talent. Kid was absolutely lost and I'm reminded of him while watching Skal. Tenative, weak and just lost in space.
 
I have as many points, rebounds, and assists as Skal today with 11:15 left to play. I'm entering my name in the NBA Draft.
 
Skal is a liability to the team right now. 7 foot, no points or rebounds, sit your ass down.
 
Definitely time to get him out of the starting lineup. Make him earn his playing time. He is charming soft
 
When he went to the bench he simply hung his head. Seems to have some confidence issue which is understandable the way he has played.
 
For those of you that remember Tom Payne, very reminiscent of a couple of games early in his career. I believe it was against Northwestern in 1971 where he had exactly ONE rebound but towered over everyone else.
