The fact that nobody wants him. There's a legit reason for that. I get it... Like Neto, he was a fan favorite, but there an obvious reason hes not on an NBA roster. It's because outside of a few rebounds and maybe a defensive stop here or there he's useless. Last year he averaged about 2 points and 2 rebounds for us and once playoffs hit he was absolutely unplayable.Well, that statement is based on what? I know his numbers were not based mainly against starters, but he actually had better defensive numbers than Rudy in his short time on the court, definitely better block numbers, so he's a definite rim protector. Also, the biggest problem with the reserves on defense is Tony's inability to protect the rim and the inability to get fair treatment from the refs. So, we have weak defenders on the perimeter and the other team knows they can get to the rim and there will be no rim protection. Finally, when we were hot, there was one major X-factor: Mike was not playing.
What's changed from last year? Nothing. You guys make it seem like he's suddenly hit some crazy stride and suddenly he's going to give us 15 minutes a night or magically be playable on the biggest stage when absolutely nothing suggest that's true. There's nobody knocking down doors for him.
Udoh is a phenomenal human, I get that and respect the hell out of him but there's a reason he's playing in China not here. Because he's just not that good. We might as well just bring Boris Diaw back.
