I like his game a whole lot. What he did to the purported best big man in the country, Azubuike, was unreal. Love this guy.
I'm confused why Bagley would not be a true big man. That seems pretty arbitrary. Also, Zion was a big big man just a year ago.
I would also point out that Jahlil Okafor was pretty darn dominant in the post for Duke just five short years ago.
Here is how their stats match up through 9 games played:
Okafor - 18.0PPG, 9.3 RPG, 1.7BPG, 65.4%FG
Carey - 19.2PPG, 9.7RPG, 2.4BPG, 60.0%FG
I would love for Carey to have the same kind of impact and season as Oak did!
