Bradley Ezewiro update

Context?

LSU basketball commit. I believe he plays center.

Is 5 months ago an “update”?

Don't be surprised if Bradley is not a starter from day one. He reclassed this year.

"Ezewiro is a post who is slightly undersized but makes up for it with his impressive physical tools. His wide shoulders, long arms, plus athleticism and toughness give him a respectable floor and ceiling," Gershon wrote. "The lefty is somewhat raw offensively at this point, but his athleticism, motor and toughness help him finish above the rim and with contact, while he can also step out and hit elbow jumpers.

"Ezewiro will need to improve his post moves, but there aren't any limitations from a hands or feet perspective. He also plays extremely hard which makes him very valuable in transition."

They are saying he is undersized because they have him classified as a center. The more accurate characterization is, he is a true power forward that can play center.

Ezewiro may not have the offensive skills like Watford but he certainly can gain them. From a pure talent perspective he has great feet for a big man and will be very valuable on the defensive end.

He's going to be a good one.

Playstyle from that limited video reminds me of Barandon Bass. Who cares what he is "classed" as. If he can run the floor, score and defend coach Wade will find a spot for him. Good luck to this young man. Seems to have a great head on those wide shoulders.

I'm excited about Alex Fudge too especially if he is already on campus (which I believe he is) and practicing with the team. He is 6' 8" and about 180 pounds and can run the point like a true point guard. He has very good ball skills for a big guard. However I don't see him playing the 1 spot. I see him at two coming off the bench at the beginning of the season and possibly starting toward the middle of the season.

I will be surprised if Cook is not our point guard based on the limited time I saw him this year. He is lightning fast, can dribble through traffic and sees the court well to be able to dish it off in traffic. He also appears to have very good shooting skills too. But it will be good to have multiple guys who can handle the ball next year.

LSU's D on the perimeter will be very tough with Gaines and Cook. We just need to work a lot on getting Gaines under control and work on his offensive skills because he is athletic as can be.

I think Gaines starts at Pg and is backed up by Cook. Fudge seems more like a Sf. Maybe a battle between Fudge and Mwani for the start.

So we’ll have another 4 playing the 5.
