I was thinking Nobles too...until I saw him. He is a twig. Louisville would have broke him in half. He easily needs to add 20 pounds before he can really contribute down low.

Nobles has had his moments, bur I agree he needs to grow OR learn to play to his strengths while masking his weakness.

It would be a bit of a gamble if this would pan out. Definitely would not have worked against Louisville. Edit: though he did have a block and steal in that game against the scrubs.

Player GP MIN PPG RPG APG SPG BPG TPG FG% FT% 3P%
Olalekan Ajayi 9 29.8 7.6 9.2 0.6 0.8 0.9 2.4 .511 .690 .000

The team is 2-7, but he is starting.

I have NO idea why he is doing so well.

If I'm reading these stats correction, he's shooting 69% free throws.

69% is good for a team percentage.

This also shows why coaches take chances on transfers. Some just need another chance in another program.

No different than life. Someone might be an average employee on one job and move on to another job and excel.
