I really like Awaka because some player’s shots just go in the net, and it’s rare, and he has it. But the counterpoint is that he doesn’t have a position. He’s not a rim protector and not a 3-point shooter, and that’s the two roles at the post position that are not negotiable in 2024. You’d have to use him as a power post alongside a stretch 5, which is doable maybe but complicated. And he would still have to guard a wing most days. You would have to like him enough to build a roster around him. Or admit you aren’t trying for a final four. Jonas used to let it fly from 3 a time or two a game and could hit at a rate that would at least keep the guy guarding him somewhat honest. But as the season played out, he slowly just stopped taking them when the opportunity was there and I just don't understand why. If I remember correctly, Estrella shot the 3 ball in high school so I believe it could be there for him going forward. It would be real nice if our 5 would/could pop a 3 here and there to just open up the floor more for the rest of the team. We and everyone else knew that Tobe wasn't going to attempt one.
