I still say he's the worst player in my lifetime that's played as many minutes as he has.

MM fact of the day is a double fact:
Last night was only the 11th time this season, 24 games, MM had more rebounds than fouls. Last night he managed to have rebounds than fouls despite getting no defensive rebounds in 26 minutes. 10th time he's had either 0 or 1 defensive rebounds.

bamba is a pretty scary dude. if you're a post player with no moves, getting yourself and/or the ball away from him is a smart move.

for sure. I only watched a tiny bit of the game, but I did see Mawien get an offensive rebound without Bamba in the game. He promptly threw up a layup that failed to draw iron.

James Love didn't think so. Also loved The Flush going right into Bamba's chest late in the game.

I love Love's size. Obviously not as agile as we want him right now after the surgeries. Do you think if he lost 20-25 lbs would that help next year?

If you want a good laugh, just watch MM try to get position to rebound. A few games ago he was in good position and an opposing player literally leaned on him and MM took 2 big steps forward and was out of bounds. He has zero idea how to setup a base, get big, get wide, hold your ground and attack the ball. It's like he's never been coached how to rebound. He just get's close to the basket and waits..it takes virtually no effort to muscle him completely out of position.

He used the rim (well) to protect him from getting blocked on at least 2 of those lay ups.

I think just being healthy long enough to trust is foot will help, but he's probably overweight simply because he's been injured so often.

Makes sense

Love has a vertical of 2" I swear

Mawein is only a sophomore, and he's a pretty good player who has improved as the season has gone on.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #136 on:** February 08, 2018, 10:37:57 AM »

Mawien was a top 150 recruit for the class of 2015. It's OK to say he's underachieved so far, FSD.

If he can stay healthy this off season I expect him to take the biggest leap. Yeah he's overweight but like _FAN said I'm sure it's attributable to his health issues. He hasn't had off season conditioning yet.

mawein's not thaaat terrible, and he's pretty much a freshman. but definitely shouldnt be a starter on a top 4 big 12 team

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #140 on:** February 08, 2018, 02:44:50 PM »

It's going to be fun watching Mawein grow into a crowd favorite, just like Lou Colon did.

Mawien had a really nice game tonight. Great defense in the second half. Bamba scored 3 points on 1 for 5 with three turnovers in the second half. Mawien also did a great job hedging on screens without letting them drop it to Bamba.
Mawien played 18 minutes in the second half with 8 points on 4 for 7 with 1 steal and 3 offensive rebounds and no turnovers.

I'm pretty sure you must be related to him

LOL good luck with that. Also LuCo was a fan favorite because he was tough Frank Martin basketball and played his ass off. A center who averages 3 rebounds and 4 fouls a game while avoiding contact will never be anyone's favorite

I love Makol. He is becoming a dude that we can somewhat count on.

Mawein spent most of the night looking like he was playing in roller skates.

I mean seriously go watch the tape. He was literally out there doing this:

Comparing just sophomore seasons Colon's per 40 average was noticeably worse that Mawien in most every statistical category, especially fouls.

Colon's PER 40

Fouls: 9.5
Rebounds: 7.9
Points: 7.7
Blocks: 1.8
TO's: 3.3
FT%: 38%
FG%: 35%

Mawien's PER 40

Fouls: 6.3
Rebounds: 6.9
Points: 13.1
Blocks: 2.1
TO's: 1.6
FT%: 70%
FG%: 65%

I don't get what the beef is with Mawien, he's actually got some good potential/athleticism compared to most of the big men we've rolled through here recently. Rebounding is the only area he is noticeably awful at, and I will agree with you there, we need more out of him on the boards.
