You try to muster some optimism when your only weapon against a 12-year-old is the head fake.
With those teams I don't know who I'd put money on winning. I think it would be a pretty good match up.
There were a few moments in that video that I literally almost jumped out of my seat. Especially when he stuffs the poor white dude on the glass.
GO has all the tools to be a great post player, and I can even see him and Woody on the court at the same time because they both run the floor well and Woody can pass out of the post pretty well for a guy his size.
I look at the potential of GO and see him not so much surpassing Woody as Basabe for playing time over the course of the year into next. If both Woody and GO progress this year into anything like their potential, a dual tower situation could be in order.
As much as I hope and believe that Gabe is going to be big time before he graduates, I don't put much stock in this video. This is an England camp. I could put together a shiz-nizzle mix tape of me going up against the middle schoolers down the block. Just saying.
In Hawkeye Heaven and where everything works out may GO become a mini-me version of Hakeem Olajawon (sp)
I'm not suggesting a Hall of Famer.. just a kid that improves year by year and ends up with some senior numbers of 10 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals.
Even a couple of years in the NBA and another 10 in over seas pro BB.
So nothing like Hakeem Olajawon then?
Someone teach him the Doug Thomas flex. He gon' need it.
a "mini-me" ghost... hoping for more.
