Re: 1/21 | George Mason | 12:00PM (YurView/ESPN+)

To be a more physical team players need to be built for that. Tchikou too skinny shows minimal strength. Samb undersized for the five.Stewart doesn't appear to be athletic enough...need the tools to do the job

Too bad we stink more than most of the other teams in the league. Haven't seen a good team yet and we still struggle for a win. You would hope by now turnovers would not be as much of an issue, but at times it seems worse. All we need to be good is ball handlers, shooters and a big man that can be s...

Tchilkou is like a Rob Williams on the Celtics, ---Tall, long, blocks shots, and can dunk like hell. Otherwise isn't a threat on offense. The difference is that Williams has the strength to rebound and defend the larger opponents in the paint. Tchikou needs to improve that, but his abilities are se...
