16.4 minutes per game from the stats link I posted above. I think Michael Day has some offensive game/shooting range but was not a big scorer. I agree it would be nice if David had a more rounded offensive game but we generally have to develop our big men. His game is fine. Break it down per 40. David scores 12.4 points/40 minutes, grabs 9.75 rebounds/40, and has 2.1 blocks/40. Those are very solid numbers. Just to play devil’s advocate, and because he was brought up, Kalle’s 40’s are: 6.8 points/40 minutes, 8.6 rebounds/40, and .6 blocks/40. While I am a fan of Kalle, the only category that he is close per 40 minutes is rebounding. He really wasn’t that much of a rim protector if you think about it also. (I also realize that most of Kalle’s numbers were from before his injury against SMU, so they probably could have been higher, but injuries are a part of it.) I’m just not sure the sample size and adjusting to per 40 minutes matters when the only offense comes from dunks. There’s no way he dominates the paint like against MVC bigs like that imo unless Rags gets really creative in the offense and finding ways to get him open looks for dunks. But I guess if he can average 6 ppg from getting good looks for a dunk, that’s still better than a lot of recent bigs we’ve had. The adjusted rebounding and blocks numbers are great to see. I was concerned about the rebounding, but didn’t realize his limited minutes and considering those, his stats are pretty good numbers. I think those would more realistically translate to the per 40 numbers if he was brought in as a starter for us.

I get an Austin Phyfe, Ben Krikke kind of vibe.

The coaching staff is also following David’s teammate Blessing Adespie who averaged over 21 ppg. 6’6 F.

Here’s hoping he is one of the two visits upcoming in the next few days that Anthony referenced.

I think he would do well at UE and puts some more size on the roster. I’m hoping we can get him signed and playing next fall.

Today he committed to Carson-Newman. It will be interesting to see how he does there.
