That last paragraph makes my heart happy.

Haven’t seen it mentioned before, but Myles Turner seem like a good comp for BHH? Gave Texas 22m 10pts 7rbd a game as a freshman, only started 7/34 games. 6’11” 240lbs.

One interesting thing, with Aidoo back, that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before here, is that when the Vols go five-on-five the starters get a chance to work against an all-freshman opposing team of Brandon Huntley-Hatfield, Aidoo, Zakai Zeigler, Jahmai Mashack and Quintin Diboundje.

This will help for years and years. Being able to play against an SEC level lineup as freshmen is great!

I know Myles turner played a lot at the 4 in college but you think BHH gets a decent amount of run at center this year?

Turner almost exclusively played the 4 at Texas that year…I think BHH could play some 5 if his play warrants it, I don’t think Barnes is against it.

You and me both. BHH looked great in the exhibition. He has so much talent. I like ORN but if this team wants to make a run, we’re going to need BHH playing up to his potential.

Are you seeing BHH as an all-SEC type player this year?

If he can average 10 and 7 on a team that competes for the conference title, he’ll get votes in that direction. I’m just happy that he seems to be taking to the challenges and improving, coaches are recognizing it, and he’s being rewarded for his hard work. He just seems like a kid that needed to be challenged by his coach, and then see his efforts be rewarded. I find it no surprise that his best two showings came in the Davidson scrimmage and then the exhibition vs L-R. He is showing his coaches he belongs on the floor. The kid I saw on Saturday is the most dominant true big man we’ve had in years. Can he maintain that same level of play vs better competition…that’s the question.

 

[walkenvol]

I’m most pleased that he doesn’t appear to want to hang around the perimeter as a few of the preseason reports indicated. If he commits to playing 15’ and closer he can have a really strong season IMO

I think it’s Fulk or Plav starting at the 5

 

[therickbol]

Yeah what is more important is looking at min played at the end of the game. Plav starts if Fulk doesn't play.

Myles Turner has had a 40+ point/ 10+ rebound game this year and hit 7 three's in a game, this week. BHH is going to be a beast, but I'll wait a couple of games before I compare him to Turner

Comparing freshman BHH to freshman Turner, not 7th year NBA Myles Turner lol…thought that was pretty obvious.

Sorry, don't remember Turner as a freshmen, I will have to check his stats. But, it would be nice, wouldn't it ?

Not arguing with you, just don't remember Turner as a freshman, but I know what he does now in the NBA

Damn - I was starting to think BHH was going to make some noise this year then out of nowhere he gets the Treppie “wrong every time” curse thrown on him!

I got the most important thing right though. I said from day 1 Milton was trash. I’ll take that one football forum win.






*breaking Milton throws for 500+ yards against UGA to lead UT past the bulldogs*

The trick is you never know exactly how he’s going to be wrong. Maybe it’s an underestimation!
