Dude should have dominated in a weak conference such as the MAC was this year.  That is, should've put up huge numbers.  Including offense.

Just seems to be a 'step' guy.  He makes one play.  And that's it.  Until minutes later.  Nothing for prolonged periods.  A step here.  Then, a step there.  Many minutes later.

Contrast DJ for us and Treadwell for 'kron.  Those are guys who are constantly doing stuff.  They make a play and keep contesting.

Can't recall every seeing Marshall rebound, rebound, tap, rebound until he got it done.

He seems to have a lot of physical tools but didn't produce a proportionate result.


Not saying that he could've stopped yesterday's debacle for 'kron.  But he should have been a enough of a factor that the game was a lot closer.

I always thought the same thing about Zeke. He's a 7-footer! I guess we know now why a player of that size was passed up by other schools and landed in the MAC.

100% agree with Monroe here. Weird huh?

The biggest reason why Zeke won't get drafted in the NBA is his lack of rebounding. Over their first two years Cooper actually out-rebounded Zeke. Yes, Zeke improved in that area, but not enough in most NBA scouts minds to get drafted.

But just from his physical attributes, he's going to get a shot at making an NBA roster, isn't he? Seems to be too coordinated at that size not to be given a chance.

So are most 7-footers sitting 12-deep onan NBA roster. But they're on a roster.

Heck, I was just noting he'll get a tryout. I think he'll have a fine career overseas. But seven foot and being able to move opens doors.

His upside is huge. Gary McGhee from Pitt is a 7 footer that is more athletic and better athlete with better BBIQ finding a home overseas (he is the kid that got " Kembaed"in the Big East tourney). 

I think Zeke gets a good look from a few clubs because he is so raw someone is gonna take a flyer on him hoping they are the one who is going to "find" him and develope him.

Its funny, Chad Ford said that Zeke has a legit chance to get drafted, but then turns around and doesn't even rank him in his top 100 prospects. 

But, all it takes is one team to take a flyer on him, so he has a shot.
