Yeah sounds like he's doing well. I'm hearing he has a post game unlike our other big men.

If O'Bryant and Hickey can come in and contribute there is a lot of potential for next year.


As I continue to say, I don't think O'Bryant will be a huge scorer initially, but I think he'll more than make up for that on the defensive end, rebounding, and shot blocking. Not to mention, even though the all-stars games aren't exactly ideal for a center prospect, he showed some ball skills that a guy like Malcolm White simply doesn't have.

playing these games together AND playing well is gonna do wonders for this team.

hamilton sounds like he may be a force inside. i can honestly say that i can't wait to watch the Tigers take the floor for their first game in the PMAC.

Agreed TA. As I continue to say, given Trent's defensive philosiphy of never doubling the post or even helping, having bigs with the size of Hamilton and O'Bryant at least afford us a chance to defend the post.

I also think as Storm showed at the end of the year, when healthy he can contribute, but all he and White brought to the table on the defensive post was the ability to consistently foul.

Physical presence in the post in and of itself will help the team tremendously.

Now we have to hope Hickey can help IMHO the most pressing weakness on the team.
