I think there are a lot of Bennies that Cal speaks of. If you can’t see that Thiero is an absolute bad ass who makes things happen you are absolutely blind. And they are.
He played in spurts, and his only bad spurt was the last minute and 40 seconds of the first half. Unlike Edwards and Bradshaw, Adou is good to chill on the bench and rest his back rather than pad stats in garbage time.
Nobody else on the team finishes the lob that he did. Nobody else on this team gets his high as he does for tough rebounds in traffic. Nobody can defend the way he does.
If he does get healthy this year and Cal doesn’t play him 25 minutes per game that’s just another indictment on this coach.
