Liked the way he played last. Nine points and eight boards in 23 minutes, but beyond numbers he played with heart, toughness, and energy we’ve needed from him. Props.
He has very good hands for a big man, on rebounds, catching passes, making passes himself, I even think his post scoring is really based upon a soft touch(I think a lack of athleticism as well as fatigue has hurt him in the post).he played aggressive. Good hands on boards, went straight up on defense and had timely baskets using his sheer size.
He gets back to this demeanor (shades of 1st half of season) we are in a good place.
Felt like the crowd was feeding off his energy during parts of the 2nd half.
Agree with everything you stated. Good to see him come out of his recent funk.Young and Mathis were the top standouts but Myles and Baker were both huge too. We neeeeeed the better version of Myles to make post season runs.
Maybe he did just need that extra rest. That's a big boy banging in the B1G and then double majoring in engineering. Has to be beyond exhausting.
