[QUOTE="forbesfrosh, post: 1561851, member: 747683"] Exciting to think how solid this team can be as our freshmen gain experience and Kofi settles down and plays better, presuming he does. Disappointed in his play so far. Expected more in his second season after having slimmed down and bulked up some more. He has struggled more than he should thus far on offense and was clearly frustrated last night at his inability to finish at the rim. He needs to go up stronger when closely guarded. He will draw a foul almost every time if he does, but he needs to also shoot FTs better than he has. He showed last year that he can make those (about 60% from the line?). Also needs to work on keeping the ball above his head and not lowering it so it can be stripped. His potential remains great, and if he starts to put it all together, wow! Agree that at this point that he's unlikely to be a first-round pick in the next draft, which could obviously help us big time next season. [/QUOTE]
