[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 534066, member: 932"] Yeah, if Okogie was on this team we’d probably be 14-2 and ranked. But if grandma had balls she’d be grandpa, too...so IIWII I have a hard time blaming Pastner for Devoe’s struggles. I mean we are talking about a guy who has consistently blown chances at the free throw line in late game situations (looked much better yesterday, btw). Bottom line is that he’s a freshman and needs to gain confidence and start to get a little selfish. The guy is extremely talented, but so are tons of others in his situation, whether it be in sports or in the professional world. He came from a scenario where he was usually the best player on the floor. Now he’s got some learning to do and it’s taking time. The issue with Okogie is that we never got to realize his true potential because he was just good enough to generate the NBA interest as a So., but not good enough to make us a real threat in the ACC. My hope for Devoe is that he steadily progresses and we get an electric scorer as a Sr. that has the experience to be an ever better player at the college level than we had in Okogie that ultimately produces a memorable season for Tech. Of course, if he blows up next year and makes millions in the NBA then that’s be great for him, as well...but the selfish side of me wants to see him play college ball as an upper classman [/QUOTE]
