To say that he has under achieved would be the under statement of the year. Question is: is he hurt or have a conditioning issue? 7 mins into the game yesterday he was lumbering and motioned to the staff to take him out. Ended up playing only 20 mins.
Loved how SDSU was feeding him inside to start the game when he was in a mismatch but as soon as ASU switched up with bigger defenders, his offensive game disappeared.
I'll stay away from NBA first round comments. Just baffled about lack of production from the player we thought would lead SDSU this year. Fact is without Pope, SDSU is EASY to defend. SDSU has no post presence. Izundu is inept offensively. Cheatham was either blocked or couldn't finish easy opportunities in the paint yesterday. All teams will leave Dakari undefended for outside shots and he has missed WIDE OPEN 3's. Kell and Hemsely are LEGIT but without a Center and Forwards.............team isn't going anywhere.
Calling Malik Pope. Mr. Pope?????????
