he also played for an NAIA team, so I can just imagine how stellar that competition was.



Point is, he knew he couldn't score the same way in the big leagues so he focused on two things: rebounding and defense. As to why he became arguably the best at in his prime. That's what I'm saying, aminu sucks at scoring (even in college he was average), but he is definitely a good rebounder and defensive player. Focus on it, work on your craft and don't do more than you know your limits.

The Aminu hate is beyond me. Aminu has averaged 8 and 7 FGA/36 the last two seasons. Dude knows his limits on offense. And he's actually been better with the ball in his hands than I thought he could be.

He's still 23. Playing defense at this level is about more than effort, despite what high school coaches say. It takes time for young guys to figure it out- even Davis has lapses frequently.

As far as starting him, it depends on the matchup. Chicago is a bad idea because of Boozer. I doubt Monty starts him at all, but he probably needs to stagger the guard minutes so Evans isnt left playing 1 on 5.
