I know he gets frustrated not getting the ball at times and then he tries to force the issue. His activity and ability to score around the basket is something we need. We certainly need him to play at a high level.''

Monty is a pussy. He gets influenced by Brian Roberts and Aminu.

get the rebound + putback. that's the ONLY time he should be allowed to touch the ball.

Aminu (can I call him "Chief"?) has been having a good year defending and rebounding. His scoring needs to come from slashing to the basket . . . problem is that requires him to make a couple of dribbles. He needs to figure that out.

FIFY

Dude is an adequate defender, a near elite rebounder but he is downright dreadful on the offensive end.

Don't know why, but I really like the guy. He's so close to being a very good player.

Aminu would be so awesome at basketball if it wasn't for dribbling and shooting

If he would just realize what he is (defender/rebounder) then yeah, he would be a great role player to have.

However, he has these inexplicable spurts where he thinks he's a ball handler/scorer and it never ends well.

I like him too. He just needs to work on ball handling and shooting. Unfortunately that's like 85% offensive basketball right there

If Aminu could just learn to shoot 3s from Ryan Anderson and spend a lot of time with evans to develop ball handling skills he would be good. This would take a long time though.

Well, yeah . . . if he had Anderson's 3 point ability and Evans' handles then he would be much better.
