Didn’t want to make a complete thread for it. But frick it. Watching UC Irvine vs Chapman right now and Olivier Rioux is getting playing time finally after the past two seasons at Florida. He lumbers hard, but 12 Pts, 11 Rebs with 16:00 left in the 2nd half, granted, it’s vs a bunch of average white dudes


How long does he hold up?

Imagine being TOO tall in a sport that favors height

12 and 11 for a 7’9” dude against D3? Tf is he doing?

A walk-on for us. Wanted to get playing time but Golden knew he wouldn't hold up in conditioning. Happy that he gets to play. Won't be a pro but will make money off his height in some other amateur leagues.

Question from a position of ignorance (have not watched Rioux play). Is he that much worse than Tacko Fall from UCF?

He should be an actor and play monsters in makeup/costume. Several examples of giant people making a living doing that.

Tacko avg 11 points and 8 rebounds along with 2.6 blocks while playing 25 minutes a game his senior year. We’ll see how Rioux does the full year against non DIII competition
Tacko is still playing. Had a few minor stints in NBA from 2019-2022. He currently on a two way deal with 76ers. Been in China and New Zealand (Australian League) the last few years

One word answer. Yes. Tacko is in the league. He will never be.
