I wish he could turn into the athletic rim protecting big we need.

Do we never post anyone up in this offense?

Are the bigs always playing at the 3 point line on D?

We fed Watford on the low block plenty against South Carolina.

Honest question: what should we expect from him? I thought he was a 5-star big coming out of high school. I don't see much in the way of driving to the basket like Watford. All I've seen him do so far on offense is take 3 pt. shots.

Wade needs to find a way to more effectively use his height and athleticism.

Ok, good. I wasn't able to catch the game.

He’s not the same player physically and athletically that he was prior to the heart procedure based on my eye but it could just take some time to get back to that form after such a major surgery.

His impact will be negated in this zone defense we’re running. O’Neal could be a huge factor protecting the rim and using his mobility to matchup vs opposing inside players but with the defense we play his skill set is greatly diminished.

It seems like we could be playing whatever D allowed KBW to thrive. Also, it seems like O'Neal should be posting up more on offense and trying to score over people with jump hooks.

Have you ever seen him make a hook shot? That’s not his game

We need him to be Aaron Epps. Rebound, block/alter a few shots. Hit a few threes get some garbage buckets. He’s completely capable of doing all that.

That stuff you saw Watford doing on the offensive end of the floor....well, that is our big man posting up on the inside. I know it is hard to identify, but that's it!
