Maybe I missed it...but is he good to go for Friday?
Maybe I missed it...but is he good to go for Friday?
Why wouldn't he be? He's been participating in all the practices and went through boot camp. No reason he won't be out there swatting Deshaun Thomas shots into the Atlantic.
As a side note, Michael Hunt has said that Chris would be the starter for Friday's cancelled game and today's Colgate game. However, the game notes at the gomarquette.com site, for both games, show Davante as the probable starter. Guess we'll see at 3:30 as to who will start. in the meantime, brush Colgate....
FWIW Chris was announced by the PA announcer as a starter on Friday.
And he has looked good with the baby hook.
Still has issues with the double team, but with Mr. Stone supposedly on hand, it is great to see the post getting fed quite a bit....
Chris is always going to struggle with the quick, blind pass from short range, the bounce pass through a lot of traffic, and the missed shot that changes direction too rapidly. His depth perception with one eye is simply not as good as a normal person. When the missed shot goes up and he can go up and get it, when the pass he is anticpating comes from the angle he is ready for, his hands are fine. That is why when rebounding that he must take up as much space as possible and occupy as many opposing players as possible, so that one of his teammates can get the board. I will never judge Chris by how many boards he gets. I will judge him by how many boards the opposing big gets.
