He’s killing us. Not giving us anything on either end. Chewy at least sometimes could be a deterrent on D. Sidibe has such poor instincts and is the most finesse big man I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to watch. Even harder to watch is when Marek or Quincy G are having to play there when BS is out. But, not on them since the roster management, C recruiting, and player development there are big problems.
The staff has really messed this all up. No surprise that they are interested in that C potential transfer from Columbia who is good. Sidibe is not going to improve. Just don’t see it. I think they know they can’t count on their big men and they are just so far behind physically. Landing this transfer C or another similar guy with some strength is crucial! Sick of these frontlines or centers (any of them!) having career games every single game against us.

And yes, the staff has completely botched our recruitment of big men. I’ve been saying that for years. Shit we couldn’t even land Osunniyi who picked St Bonaventure over us. He’s averaging nearly a double double and 4.3 blocks a game in only 27 mpg. I’d gladly take him over what we’ve got. Oh... that’s right, those rocket scientists on the other board said Sidibe was going to be an NBA player, and that’s why we couldn’t land another good big. Lmao.

Remember Majur Majak... that big man Syracuse nearly offered? He’s so good he’s averaging less than a point per game, and less than 2 rpg as a sophomore at St Peters. Lmao. Our scouting and recruiting of big men is garbage. I took a lot of criticism for wanting no part of Majak too. Looks like I was right about him too.

For real... I’ll leave this Majak highlight workout video below which makes him look good. My point is that these videos are “highlight” videos, not weakness videos. JBA, Jesse, and Majak all looked decent in videos. My point is the videos hide how weak these guys are. They have skill but they’re beanpoles. We can’t recruit elite strong bigs to save our lives it seems.

Oh I remember him and was praying for them not to offer. Again, landing that transfer from Columbia or a comparable guy is paramount. Jessie needs 25lbs just to validate putting him out there. Dolezaj really shouldn’t be logging all these minutes too, sigh.

Dolejaz, if he was about 50-60 pounds heavier/stronger would be a really nice player. He’s smart, and he’d actually be able to take it to the rim with authority. His skill is there. Of course he really needs to quit smoking, but that goes without saying.

Of course he really needs to quit smoking, but that goes without saying. Even 25 lbs on Dolezaj would be fine like Dakich suggested. He’s more of a finesse wing type with an occasional drive. It’s Edwards who will need a lot more. Probably unlikely for either, sigh. Hope Dolezaj at least rolls his own cigs Euro style, lol.

Sidibe is either not very good, or he’s still hurting from his injury. Maybe surgery wasn’t as effective as they thought it would be? I don’t know which it is, but he sure has been a huge disappointment. We really need a good center or forward inside with some strength who can bang down low. None of our guys can do that right now. Guerrier is getting better.

Guerrier is getting better. His instincts and defensive positioning are terrible. As I mentioned above he is constantly bringing those arms down as well and biting on pump fakes. I don’t think these are issues related to the knees and he’s been in the program long enough where he shouldn’t making these mistakes over and over again. His lower body also is still very weak, IMO. We need to land that grad transfer possibility from Columbia in the worst way. CD Bay is what he is. Jesse needs to add a ton of weight and if JBA was any good he would be playing! Ugh.

Good point about Sidibe’s defensive instincts. Biting on every head fake is a coaching issue too, and something that should be able to be corrected.
