I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I drink 2XS.

I love dwon and have wanted him to get more minutes since day one. He does obviously need to improve from the perimeter but honestly I think just enough so defenders need to respect it. Otherwise he can be a killer getting the rim, hitting floaters and runners, and passing. He will have wilcher and Colby and (hopefully) kyky to kick it out to the next two years. You don’t need to be able to shoot the 3 from all positions and I’d love to have him develop his midrange and getting to the bucket game into a Tu or Jordan Crawford type game.

I am sure it will get better but probably never above 30%. Crazier things have happened but that form is UGLY. The good thing is that he can finish and his jump stop elevation shot is probably unstoppable because he elevates so high you can’t block his shot. He can slice through the defense as fast as I have seen on his way to the rim. If he had a reliable three he would probably be a one and done type player and at Duke. Glad he is at Xavier. Seems like a great leader as well.

This is not implying that he is on the same level, but he reminds me a lot of Russell Westbrook in college. Similar results (Odom's freshman year is way better than Westbrook's freshman numbers, but not as good as his sophomore numbers). But overall style: athletic, slashing, driving, finishing with limited long range shooting. We'll see how he progresses, but yesterday's game certainly gives a hint as to what he could do during his time at X.
We've been working hard the whole year...we're staying focused and keeping it one game at a time. --Justin Cage

Odom has the entire off season to perfect his shot. The only thing he has to do to continue to blow by people, is stay in shape.

I heard somewhere (maybe from an uber driver) he was a triple jump champ in hs.

Yeah I would love for them to finally show up in the tourney. They have had some bad injury luck, Foster and Watson come to mind but plenty of other good teams that totally shit the bed.
X has had some of its best team crap the bed in the tourney but we've had lower seeded teams make big runs and it evens itself out. Creighton, not so much."I’m willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I’m going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I’m going to play harder than I’ve ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17
