cherry picking a sarcastic exaggeration about shaq and mixing it with another post replying to another post?
my original thought came when watching one of my favorite New Big East player Tariq Owens--Man that dude is huggy bear snoop dog if I've ever seen him. Love that guy and it looked like he got skinnier all four years. Made the NBA, with the Suns in a similar position as Patton. Still looks skinny. Also Henson from North Carolina comes to mind. He was pretty skinny but held his own as a 5 because of his ability to move. Christian isn't very big or tall, but he's so damn fast and crafty, similiar to Doug was around the rim, but more athletic.
Regarding Ryan, he seems to be a mix between Epperson and Patton. Not quite as dynamic and fast as Patton on the offensive end but definitely is faster and a bit smoother than Jake and Justin blocking shots. I would just like to see him NOT redshirt (I know that nobody is saying he is) to put on any weight and just get in there for some good minutes to take the pressure off Christian, who I think should continue to get the bulk of minutes at the 5. Artino's freshman year was his best because he came off the bench with fresh legs and was great for a few sprints up and down the floor before Echenique or another rotated at the 5. I think Ryan is 1,000 times what Artino was, so I'd also expect his role to get bigger and bigger as his freshman year goes on, similiar to Christian's freshman year. No injuries this time, just continuing to get Mac's trust as the year goes on. We're going to need him most in MSG, where we will win the REAL championship
