Aminu had 7 PTS on 3-9 shooting (1-3 from 3) and a game high 15 Rebs . Here is the complete box score. Also the game is currently being replayed on NBAtv for those with access to it.
No. I just thought it was cool to see him in a blazers uni for the first time, representin' little 'ol PDX in Africa.
We need to come up with a nickname for Aminu. A name that cool allows for all sorts of rhyming possibilities!
That 15 rebounds is what really impresses me. It leads me to believe the kid likes putting a hard hat on.
We need somebody to be grinder. I love players that get their weight low and grab the rock. If he can develop a 3 point shot and stick out the elbows, we might have a winner.
don't read too much into any boxscore stats. mutombo and hakeem both played minutes in the first half for team Africa. even a 'dream shake" made basket for the highlight reel. mutombo is 52 and hakeem close to 50. Popovich called a timeout so everyone could watch a few teens break dancing with nba mascots '
Regardless, he is an above average rebounder for a SF in the NBA. Those stats confirm on his PER 36 stat
yes, and I like his acquisition and his contract and his recent development as a player for the blazers. I dig on your enthusiasm too. just that the first half of team Africa's game was more of a celebrity game and for show was my only point
He's draymond green light but I fear his best position is smallball 4. Not sure he's a long term starter at the 3.
Ideally he would come off the bench at post positions. But he is still young and if he continues to improve his game .......maybe he can be a legit starter on a good team. I am just not sure how his handles are.
He's gotta get on the court and do something to earn it. Have you ever heard of a nickname that sticks which isn't earned.
