Awesome performance.

The guy is averaging 10 points and almost 9 boards in like 20.5 mins a game.

Some morons n the game thread said he's worst center since skal. Did no one watch the 3 stooges we trotted out as center's last season?

Jamal Mercer said his 8 boards in a game where he only played 22 minutes was unacceptable. Just a mess of a poster. 🤣

He played very well the turnovers notwithstanding. He hasn't been as bad as people make it out to be, but some have to have a scapegoat.
And a few of those turnovers are guys bobbling the pass on the receiving end. It’s also tk he expected that he will have a few just by the nature of being the give and go guy that the offense is running through. In a free flowing offense with spontaneous cuts, occasionally he is going to anticipate the cut and see an angle from his POV and the would be cutter flares back the opposite direction resulting in a misread.

Point being….hes being asked to do A LOT and is playing admirably….especially when he hits the boards w energy like he did tonight

So right about being asked to do a lot. Not only that, he's being asked to do a lot in the SEC and against teams like Duke, Clemson, and Louisville of the ACC and OSU of the Big 10.

This is a vastly harder level of basketball than he's ever had to consistently play against. He's just not a 20 point guy offensively and shouldn't be counted on to get near that every night. He was a 12-14 point guy on average in the Colonial Athletic conference.
 
It’s a really bad idea to create threads like this after the dude has one decent game. The fact remains that going with him as the starting 5 and running offense through him will be a key reason we bow out early in the tourney.

You can keep making or resurrecting threads each time he has a decent game, but also remember to call me out when he shits the bed in March - which he will.

There’s about a 96% chance that UK will bow out in March every single season based on past percentages. 🤡

"We" lol
 
He was great last night. I’ve been somewhat critical of Amari simply because I was expecting more shotblocking from him. He’s been okay, I just thought he would average 2-3 blocks a game playing with better players.
