I know it’s only been 2 games, but I’m just wondering how you are feeling about Obi Toppin right now?
Personally I still like him, but I’m not sure he can play his game with the starters as there is such a big defensive emphasis. He has clearly been told to crash the glass so those easy dunks on the break aren’t really available. Defensively he simply doesn’t appear to have what we need either.
In saying all that I still think he has a place on the roster, but might be more capable of playing his game in the 2nd unit. I just have no idea who would replace him as the starter.
He’s not putting up numbers but there’s a big difference from last year. You see it with some of the blocks he gets and he actually has the size to switch onto guys like Mobley. Last year Nesmith would be getting cooked in this game
