Will Polla ever be a starter at OU?

Tried to find Polla/FIBA and did not see anything. Has anyone found a link on how he was doing this summer in Europe.

Team went 3-1 in their division. I think he averaged around 6 & 5.

That's about what I see for him here. Maybe 7 or 8 rebounds a game and an occasional double digit scoring night. Solid role player.

I think he will be an asset and perhaps a starter, not a star.

If he averages 6 & 5 while playing very physical as McNeace's backup I'll be very happy.

He is just a body playing inside with 5 fouls to give. He can't create a shot inside and can't jump.

We need big men who can rebound and defend. I cringe when I watch teams trying to feed big guys in the post, it's such a terrible, inefficient play.

They’re 7-3. If you google Finland U20 basketball you can watch some of his videos. I watched one and Polla did very well. Remember these are national teams with 12-13 players and they play pretty equal time.

He does some things very well. He’s a good pick ‘n roll player. He shoots free throws very well.... nice rotation and maybe 70-75%. I thought his hands looked better than last summer. He changes a lot of shouts because he’s huge. He needs to move his feet better on defense. He’s probably Finland’s best player. That’s my summary.

I may watch more games ......
