Rokas could be an X factor for us. A 6'11 eastern European - stretch 4 is something not too many players ever see.

What is really interesting is that our new Assistant Coach, Vince Taylor, was Rokas' position coach at Texas Tech. And Rokas left when Tubby Smith left to go to Memphis - a team who we have only beat a couple of times.

I'm going to be pulling for him to get 8+ minutes a game. Watching his HS highlights, he can shoot, has the athleticism to drive, and can pass!

Personally, I think, passing better may be our biggest opportunity for improvement.

Hope he can shoot. Having a Kevin Love type player will be nice.

Has anyone seen him play? Is he aggressive or other?

With this bass beat, he certainly looks aggressive.



Keep in mind, that is 3 years ago - pretty much. Bigs take time to physically mature.

THX for sharing. But...he's no Kenny Leaks!

Twin towers. Nice footwork, good hands, pretty spin moves to the basket. Can we handle SMU and Cincy frustrating, deliberate offense and airtight defense? I just hope Dawkins unleashes a full-court press to deprive them of clock time their offense needs (5 passes). That will be the key to winning the conference and getting a decent seeding in the NCAA tournament.
