I love every player that suits up for RU, and I root for them to succeed in each game and throughout their career on the banks. It's especially rewarding to watch them develop over time, in a way it's like watching your own kids grow and prosper.
Thiam is one Knight that I root for as much if not more than others, because I see in him the commitment, the effort and the positive attitude that make for a winning team.
Issa's defense and threat to score from deep are important contributions to go along with his modest yet improved scoring and rebounding, and fairly deft ball handling and passing skills for a young man of his size.
When I see him gaining confidence, running hard to the arc to catch and shoot a turnaround 3pt jumper (while turning to his right! as a right-handed shooter which is difficult as hell, try it sometime) and burying that trey, I know this is a guy who is working hard to up his game so he can perform at a high level for dear ole Rutgers.
The shots will come, but honestly, after Corey, DeShawn and Geo get theirs, how many shots are left to go around, for Issa and Eugene and Mike? The fact that Thiam has developed the shot I just described ought to tell you something.
Give me 5 Thiams on the court at all times and we win. Looking forward to his continued growth and development.
