I am sure if he’s was here and played in his first game and looked lost on defense that there would be an abundance of posts about how lost he is, how he can’t play, similar to Gavin. There is merit to the consideration by bac2therac that he would not be doing this at RU. Pike emphasizes Defense (sometimes he loses vision of the forest for the trees because of this), we have forwards that Pike may like more defensively, and Pike does not always produce the best offensive results. Combine that with if he looked a little lost in Pike’s defensive scheme and didn’t pick things up, I do think his minutes played and ppg would be lower here at RU. His talent would be the same, but do think his numbers would be lower. Wonder what Gavin Griffiths numbers would be if he played at Georgia Tech if we swapped him and Ndongo??Anyone on a different team could have a different role. You split the 3 and 4 minutes between Mag Hyatt and Ndongo
Is Ndongo a bad defender?
He's probably a better 1 on 1 scorer than the rest of the roster
I’m going to start the thread on him next week. Haha. All good — I don’t catch every thread. Anyway, he’s really good but may end up being there only one year.
Well there is almost no chance that Baye would be as bad as Gavin has been on either end of the floorI am sure if he’s was here and played in his first game and looked lost on defense that there would be an abundance of posts about how lost he is, how he can’t play, similar to Gavin.

Yeah i could see him in the portal..Hobbs be damned
a year later, Baye's numbers are down slightly and he is still playing on an irrelevant program
lets poach him

yes because they are at least talking about our disappointing failuresAre we more relevant than Georgia Tech?
He's still much better defensively than Lathan. I'd also consider him a more a four than center. Baye's PER is still higher than Lathan, but yeah, down a few from LY. I'd still be happy to have him.Baye has regressed tremendously this year fwiw, especially on the defensive end where we’d need him most. I think Lathan is a more effective player right now
Interesting about the PER, Lathan’s been really awful the last few games so his numbers looked a lot better than they last time I’d checked lolHe's still much better defensively than Lathan.

Pretty sure Hobbs was doing the screwingMaybe we screwed Hobbs. Maybe everyone was getting a raise except him. He and Pike were good friends for years. Guys don't usually do this to good friends. I'm guessing something happened between the two, but I have no knowledge.
Yeah, I think he's steadily dropped since moving into his starting roleInteresting about the PER, Lathan’s been really awful the last few games so his numbers looked a lot better than they last time I’d checked lol
