I am not saying Dele is Patrick Ewing, but I cannot understand why he does not get more minutes. Against RU he did not even play. Dele must be really bad in practice.

Kid is shoot 67% from the field and Dele looks great shooting the 15 foot jump shot. I just do not get it. Just by what he has done to his body it is obvious that the kid has a great work etic. He is the only true Center we have and should play more.

He's still a little sloppy and foul prone but damn, let the guy cut into Sean Evans' minutes to make a strong rotation.  At least let him bang someone coming into the lane.

I think he's sloppy due to the fact he doesn't get as much time on the court. I think if you gave him more time than he'd reach his full potential. Also to note his turnovers and fouls have gone down considerably.

In well coached program, Dele would be a solid player with limitations, similiar to PITT center.

It is a disgrace the kid get so little burn.  He can change a game defensively, is our only legit center, and actually provides more half court offense than Evans.

This was discussed in the summer. I was wrong about him. The more he plays the better and smarter he seems to play.

Tony, comment on point. Wish Norm would get better and smarter, the more he coaches. So stubborn and technically poor. Sad!
