re: Duop Reath Appreciation Thread

When he plays with energy he’s the difference maker for this team. Offensively we’ve never had a big with his skill, but his defense and physicality are lacking sometimes. When he comes out with the right energy and attitude he’s a All-SEC level player examples like the Kentucky, Vandy and tonight’s game prove what he can be. We only play twice a week there’s no reason he can’t get motivated and play with intensity every single time out. Our next two games are against much smaller teams, he has a chance to really get it going in these next two. I’m hoping we get the good Reath and if we do it could change the season.

A very minor nitpick here - Stanley Roberts was the most skilled big we've had in the last 50 years. He was very polished down low and unstoppable on O when he was focused. He didn't have Duop's ability to hit a 3 but we didn't want him out there anyway. He was also a better rebounder and more solid defender in the paint. It's too bad we only had him for a year.
Obviously Shaq did a lot just powering in and dunking on people and if I had to choose I'd take Shaq over Roberts, but Roberts was more "skilled" than Shaq.
That being said, I'm grateful we have Duop this year and hope he has a long and successful career in the NBA.
