Romero Osby is a man

Remember a month ago when half of this board was calling him a bust, saying his was overhyped? 10 monster dunks and 5 double-doubles later hopefully everybody agrees with you that he's a man.

17 ppg, 8 rpg in his last 5 games. Keep it up Ro!
 
He is really, really good.

If M'baye is in that category, next years bigs are going to be terrific. Need more shooters, though.

Most of those posts were more as dig toward Capel than directly at Osby and his game IMO. I called him a grown man in a thread few weeks ago and it is still true. He is undoubtedly OU's best player.

Who said he was a bust? I think people debated about who the best player was between Pledger, Fitzgerald and Osby but I don't think any rational person called him a bust. Perhaps you are talking about the anti OU fan, thebigabd?

In conference play he has clearly been the best player on the team followed closely by Fitzgerald. Pledger has played well too.

If our two new wings are worthy of their national 100 ranking we should have that upgrade coming in next season.
 
Roe is a joy to watch. Gives it his all every single possession. That one dunk where he spun away from 2 guys on the baseline and slammed it home...on the replay you could clearly see him look back and say some colorful language to some Baylor player. Loved it, he plays with such fire.

If he can add a somewhat consistent mid-range game next season...Look out.

Was #9 in Sports Center top ten plays :clap

He didn't say anything, but he gave one helluva evil stare.
 
The way he was aggressively going after boards and throwing down dunks last night it was like he was channeling Blake Griffin or something :)

Exactly. If Capel had said he was a stiff, there are at least 2 posters here who would have found a way to make him a lottery pick.:D:D
 
If Roe continues to improve and stay healthy through the remainder of this season, and then improves even more next season...does he have a shot at the NBA? Even an outside shot?

He's an athletic, big dude. I'm sure he will try to go pro somewhere, he'll definitely be a 3 at the next level.

An outside shot maybe. I just don't think his game translates very well to the NBA. He is athletic for a 4 in college, but I don't see him being good enough on either end of the court to play the 3 in the NBA, and he is way too small to play the 4.
 
Europe- The NBA just dosen't have a position for his size and skill set. Even though his skills are considerable, he needs to be 2" taller or a step quicker.

Agreed.

I said early in the season that Capel was right about Roe. There is no doubt that he was our best player last year, and nothing has changed to unseat him from that position this year.

It might just be me, but I feel like there's been a little bit of an influx of successful undersized big men in the NBA. Dejuan Blair, Taj Gibson, Paul Milsap, etc. Not saying that guarantees Roe a spot anywhere on an NBA roster. If he puts up 15-16 PPG along with 8-9 RPG next season, I gotta think he'll draw the eyes of SOME scouts. Maybe not though. I'm a huge fan of Roe and he certainly appears to have the drive and motivation.

No arguement from me.
