Why is Azab not getting more playing time?
He certainly has the size that the team needs and seems to have some skill.
Anyone know?

Yep. He needs to drop about 30 - 40 lbs. He's gassed after 3 minutes of intense action. He's got potential but really needs to focus on conditioning, not his next meal.

He's SLOOOOOOOW. Gets lost on pick and rolls. Has a nice touch as long as he's posting up 6'7 guys. Does have decent vision with post passing.

Possible reasons:
1. Limited skills
2. Inexperience
3. Physical conditioning
4. Tubby mismanagement
5. Combination thereof

He is not in basketball shape, it's pretty obvious watching him run up and down the floor.

RE: Why is Azab not getting more playing time?
Running appears to be a genuine struggle for him, he truly lumbers up and down the court. As others have stated, he needs to focus on conditioning this off-season and drop some weight. He definitely has some skill and potential but will never get extended minutes if he can only play for 3 minutes at a time.

Because basketball is full-court game, and he can't outrun my grandmother....and she's dead.

Yes - I get that he is slow - but I would at least try to develop him more.

I was trying to figure out why he was getting as much as he is. Total defensive liability.

He moves like a baboon with two crubbed feet.

He's SLOOOOOOOW. Gets lost on pick and rolls. Has a nice touch as long as he's posting up 6'7 guys. Does have decent vision with post passing.

Yep he can't move...Terrible on pick and roles and cannot rebound unless the ball comes right to him.

Enoh is the best guy for that spot...He may not be able to score (Heck the other guys are doing much either) but at least he will be able to defend on a pick and roll and grab rebounds.

I have no idea how Azab got ahead of Enoh in the depth chart unless we are just trying to look like a good basketball team by having a tall guy out there.

RE: Why is Azab not getting more playing time?
I remember seeing him walk down Echles when he first got to campus.

Wondered how he was gonna play basketball when walking seemed to be a difficult test of agility.

He looks just as graceful walking across campus now as he did then.
