Gettys is not "athletic"... but I would also say he's pretty agile for a guy his size. He's got pretty good footwork, rarely travels, can actually handle the ball in the open court, and can make drives from the top of the key for layups. He also dives for loose balls, and springs back up from the ground quickly when knocked down. He's never going to have hops, or be able to contort his body in the air... but that's more raw athleticism than agility.
Can't compare his agility to a guard, or even a forward... in the broader sense of "agility", he's low on the scale. But among guys who are 7' tall and 280 lbs, I'd say he's above average in that area.
Let's see how they play the rest of the way because they played 2OT game Wed. night against Iowa, then had to travel to our place. Our bench is deeper, but not better. We will need Sa to play some defense this half--he hasn't played yet.
After Williams missed that 3 (to bring it within 3) I said to myself, we are fvcked. Of course Minny proves me right by draining their next two treys.
We brick 'em, other teams swish 'em. That last sequence is our problem in a microcosm.
Thiam had a wide open three and clanked it. That was rough. I get missing a 3, but clanking it makes no sense.
It's amazing they are within 6 they've been totally put hustled to this point. 1st tI'm all year
