An article several posts ago talks about Ayo “adjusting to the adjustments“ other teams are making, esp starting to respect his 3 pt shot. Here the defender over plays him at the 3 line so Ayo drives on him, great adjustment, a move Ayo already has.
B+
Kofi is going to tear it up. In 3 games so far he is leading the team in scoring (17.7) and rebounding (8.3) and nearly tied for the lead in assists (3.3). Unfortunately he’s on a really bad team. They lost all 3 games.
The Jamaican Godzilla is instilling fear throughout the land of the rising sun, good for Kofi!Let's pump the breaks here a little. He's playing in Japan. Let's not act as if he's playing in a top overseas league.
Oh no....there goes Tokyo...The Jamaican Godzilla is instilling fear throughout the land of the rising sun, good for Kofi!
No that wasn’t my point. When he signed I said it was a good opportunity for him to show what he can do and move up in competition. I think that’s exactly what will happen although I certainly don’t know the details of his contract. 27 points, 14 boards today.Let's pump the breaks here a little. He's playing in Japan.

Offense and rebounding are not what kept him from being drafted. Heccould play in any other league.Let's pump the breaks here a little. He's playing in Japan. Let's not act as if he's playing in a top overseas league.

Japan's league may not be as high a level of competition as most Euro leagues but for some reason it appears to pay significantly better than any Euro league an "entry-level" player can hope to sign for and the fact that he's putting up these kinds of numbers bodes well for his ability to have a lucrative career. If Kofi just ends up being one of the highest earning players in Japan for the next 10 to 15 years, that's not a terrible outcome!But wait now, I was told by multiple on here that he got screwed out of being drafted.
If Kofi gets signed by a team in a European league, then I might buy into him. That being said, I don't know if his style of game really fits in European basketball.
He gets up and down pretty good....not doing it for 30 minutes though....I think it was fair to say that he could play in any league not named NBA and not excluding them from the conversation...But wait now, I was told by multiple on here that he got screwed out of being drafted.

Okay, this means nothing to me.Ayo goes down with a Pulisic type injury.
Shot to the jimmy. Named after a USA soccer player in World Cup. No pun intended with the CupOkay, this means nothing to me.
In the Adriatic League he's the #4 scorer, #6 in assists, #2 in made 3s (#1 has 8 more makes on 53 moew attemps). He's shooting 50% on 3s. I'd bet Trent gets opportunities to move up to a higher level Euro league next season.
Do they not allow fans at those games?
