We know... and yeah, if Monty can make Outlaw what he is, he could mold Aminu... You know he just turned 21 in Sept. Dude can be something nice out there

He just looks so passive out there, like he doesn't want the ball.

I said it after the first game, Aminu and Squeaky are two roster spots that would be better served with someone else occupying them. They are both awful.

He is starting at SF you can't start and still come up with 0 pts we can't afford that.

Hopefully he has a better game Friday. He's going to get a good bit of playing time with Ariza out. Come on young fella, you can do it!!!!

Well, in his defense, he had the best +/- of anyone on the Hornets last night.

Aminu +4
EG +2
Everyone Else was negative...

He may but be producing but the Hornets are when he is on the court.

The dude is horrible, I said this when he was drafted and when his name was discussed in the Paul trades. His best fit is playing in an uptempo offense playing power forward.

I think he could improve with more time in the system, but at best he could be Ariza with better defense and worse offense. That may not be bad off the bench, but definitely not what you want starting. I think it's interesting that Monty says he thinks Henry is more of a SF than SG.

Last night Aminu just did not seem to know the offense. Jarrett Jack kept pointing for him to go somewhere then he would just sit in the corner. His best attribute is his defensive skills mostly because he just doesn't have the same flow on offense. Definitely can be coached and hopefully will.

He's been under monty for what...3 weeks? Give the dude some time to learn the offense and find his role in it. I doubt anyone expected Ariza to go down and him to have to fill in so fast. Y'all are jumping on his arse way to hard and fast. We're only 6 games into the season.

He'll never be good. Just doesn't have the coordination. And that's not something you can teach or develop at his age.

Julian Wright was an idiot that didn't really care about basketball. Aminu has no such issues.

Dude's what, just made 21? Give him some got damn time.

I know this may be hard to believe, but occasionally players get a lot better in their second and third seasons. Shocker, eh?
