Re: Cheno/Tiny
When I say Jahbari and Ace, do you remember those guys? Not intended as a flame at all but just not sure how long you have been following OU basketball.
Anyway, Ace McGee played VERY similarly to Tiny [probably a little more proficient on the outside] and Jahbari was a guy that came in in the second semester and freed up Ace from being down low all of the time [and trust me, fans ripped Ace's ability down there too]. Long story short, crushed eventual national champions Maryland like the second game Jahbari played, won the conference and made the final four.
I'm with you, fans either need to be patient to allow Tiny to develop into a low-post player OR they need to be banging on the drums to let him get outside a little more often [which is what he did before]. Tiny hasn't changed [except losing a bagillion pounds] what he is being asked to do has.
Yes, I agree with you.. but don't you think if we use at least one other big in the post with Tiny, it would free him up just a little?
