Ok. So I have been reading some of the post here on GSOM a lot lately and there are so many bashers on here about Ekpe Udoh's game, his upside, and the list goes on and on and on. But the thing that people don't realize is he's just a rookie. The first thing people will say is well he was a 23 year old rookie BUT SO WAS Wesley Johnson yet people wanted us to go after him. And people may argue if we wanted a big man we should've went with Greg Monroe but after watching a few of his games last year I feel he will be nothing more than a poor man's Brad Miller as BM is a better shooter, passer/playmaker than Young Monroe. I really don't see any potential in Greg Monroe as a defender as he looks clumsy and uncoordinated whenever he tries to keep up with the opponent which is the exact opposite of Ekpe Udoh a.k.a. Our Nigerian Nightmare.
I'm not going to sit here and lie saying I was always in love with the Udoh pick as I wanted us to take Paul George, Al-Farouq Aminu, or Xavier Henry (heck, even Greg Monroe for a little while) but after seeing his love for the game and powerful work ethic (along with his end-to-end highlight against HOU) I feel he can be one of the five best players in his class if developed properly (he's on that list potentially with John Wall, Paul George, Demarcus Cousins, Derrick Favors ,Gordon Hayward, Wesley Johnson, & possibly Landry Fields).
I know the first thing that might to some of your minds is that all those players happen to be younger than Udoh but no matter how old you are you can always look to improve which Udoh already knows as a student of the game. In all honesty, for a player that NEVER PLAYED IN A SUMMER LEAGUE GAME, NEVER HAD A TRAINING CAMP, AND NEVER EVEN HAD A PRESEASON GAME he really played like he belonged in this league and beyond most of our expectations. Only time will tell with Ekpe so patience is a virtue especially with a big man (It took Joakim Noah a few years to get going so we might have the same process with Udoh).
And for those saying he's the next Adonal Foyle...that's just wrong with no disrespect to Mr. Foyle whatsoever.

Rec'd iHype, I feel that our man Udoh will continue to improve and impress.
For myself Udoh is the anti AR/BW mistakes.
I cannot argue that he will be better than several players passed up by the W’s but we needed his defense and character at the C/PF position. Basically he is our man now and deserves our support based on his play so far in my humble opinion even thought I too was disappointed on draft night…homer as that may be.
It also seems to me than anyone who is pining for Bismack on this years draft day has to appreciate the logic of last years pick as well!
by Only In Fairfax on Jun 19, 2011 11:22 AM PDT up reply actions
Count me in that group ... big reason I want Bismack is because of how much I appreciate Udoh.
My hope is that the Warriors will always have either Udoh or Bismack on the floor. That way they’ll be somebody to protect the rim.
If Ellis/Curry are lighting it up offensively, then maybe Warriors can even have both of them on the court @ the same time for big minutes.
yeah, it seems so obvious
I’m hoping all the Klay talk has been a smoke monster

I thought it resolved the conflict well on an emotional level. If you cared about the characters, then it was a meaningful end.
Of course, intellectually, it wasn’t the sci-fi mystery a lot of people hoped for. I was a bit disappointed by it as well on that level. That said, I thought it was good and represented great writing.
I'm the soul brotha' like no other!
How many realistic minutes can we play them? Bismack is an investment down the road.
We can’t play two guys who have questionable offensive game and one with no offensive game. I’m not dogging it before we see it, but I’m not going to proclaim a wall of invincibility between the two.
First of all Bismack will have to make that rookie jump and get used to the fast paced nature of the NBA. Another thing to consider is that the rules in international league play is very different than the NBA. Will his athleticism still stand out when he’s surrounded by similar athletic freaks? Does he have the defensive fundamentals down even though he hasn’t been playing organized basketball for a long time? These are some serious questions that I don’t know any of us have an answer to. I hope the Warriors have these questions answered first and foremost before deciding on Bismack.

Most posts/articles on Udoh next season project him about 25 minutes/game.
That leaves a lot of gametime where there’s no defender on the court to protect the rim. This leaves a lot of minutes for Bismack to be on the floor & still not overlap Ekpe’s playing time and forcing Warriors to have two big men with limited offensive abilities on court @ same time.
Riley felt that Udoh was capable of being a consistent jumpshooter & if this happens then Bismack/Ekpe combo on the floor looks even better.
===
Following up on whether Bismack has the defensive fundamentals & athleticism to stand out in the NBA … I’ve got no idea. Never watched him play internationally & hoping the Warriors have done their reseach.
===
Another reason, I’m hoping that he’s considered is that the Center position is just so hard to fill in right now and Warriors would be so lucky if they can fill this hole on a rookie contract. All the names people throw around like Nene, Jordan, etc … are just too expensive for the Warriors to sign.
Also, if Bismack looks decent then he can be a valuable trade piece. Young Center prospect has to have some kind of trade value.
Yep

I like Udoh alot
But should’ve had a poll option for serviceable starter. I think he can be a defensive stalwart, especially if paired with another good big. Obviously he can be better than that, but he can also be worse. If he’s at least starter worthy or a 20+ minute defensive specialist, I’ll be happy.

He needs to improve his rebounding to get more than 20 minutes.

-Keith Smart
About his rebounding, I don’t know where to get the numbers or stats for it, but I’m pretty sure he’s okay on that end because he usually tips the rebound to someone else rather than try to grab it for himself. Because of that, rebounding numbers for our team when he was on/off was about the same. I remember watching a lot of plays where Udoh just tipped the rebound to other players also. He’s very good at it, but I do wonder where I can find stats to support my claim (which was discussed at one point during the season).
by Prince.Charming on Jun 19, 2011 5:15 PM PDT up reply actions
Basketball-reference.com or Hoopdata.com can show some good in depth stats.
But his total rebounding rate is an appalling 10.0%.
I’d say decent starts at at least 15%.
If he just gets the tip, well then he’s such a tease.

-Keith Smart
The worst tease ever lol. But that’s why Udoh-Lee make the best front court option for us. Udoh defends and helps our best rebounder get the rebound. Win-win. But grr, couldn’t find the stats for it still. Evanz probably has some stat for it somewhere in his brain/website lol.
by Prince.Charming on Jun 19, 2011 11:13 PM PDT up reply actions
D12 + Udoh
Would be a dream front court for me. They would be Twin Towers worthy, at least on the defensive end.
"I'm not a big vegetable guy'' he says. -Tim Lincecum
It’s true that when Udoh was on the floor, the team didn’t rebound any worse than when he was off. In fact, the defensive rebounding was 0.9% better when he was on, and the offensive rebounding was the same.
The problem is that whether he was on or off, the Warriors were a really bad defensive rebounding team. We ranked dead last in the league. I happen to think one of the big reasons for that is Monta Ellis. He’s a really poor rebounder. A bigger SG who could rebound more would help alleviate the problem. Of course, so would getting someone like Dwight Howard or Biyombo.

One of the most interesting things I thought happened this season
Was bosh’s decline in rebounding and being well below par for an NBA big, while Miami still remaining top 10 in rebounds at 4th in defensive rebounding percentage. Add to it the fact they start Joel Anthony who doesn’t rebound well.
Were Lebron and Wade just great rebounders to make up for this, or did they in a sense ‘steal bosh’s rebounds’.
My guess is it’s probably a combination.
One thing I notice with Udoh is he doesn’t have great hands for rebounding, the way Biedrins does/did. But he does tip out a lot of balls. The type of thing where more adept rebounding wings (like Iguodala) might thrive.
Were Lebron and Wade just great rebounders to make up for this, or did they in a sense ‘steal bosh’s rebounds’.
This is classic diminishing returns, yes. Wade is one of the best rebounding SG in the league. This is one of the weaknesses that people don’t talk too much about Monta, but getting a guy like Burks would really help in that area. Burks would probably grab about 2 more boards per game, which doesn’t sound like much, but it’s significant.

Interesting stuff
You simply don’t expect a team whose two starting bigs rebound at a rate of 8.3 and 6.5 rebounds per 36 to be a top 10 rebounding team (and top 5 defensive rebounding team).
And yet Biedrins at 11 per 36 and Lee at 9.8 per 36 had no real impact.
A reason I something question people who overrate bigs due to rebounding rate without consideration of other factors. This is how someone like Horford can have a higher rebounding % and significantly higher defensive rebounding % while actually rebounding at a lower rate than Lee per 36

That’s a bit of a simplification. Biedrins did have a positive impact on the boards, improving the team’s rebounding when he played. However, he didn’t play all that many minutes, largely because every other aspect of his game fell apart.
Biyombo has proven anymore rebounding potential than Udoh it seems.
But who knows …mystery project. How about Markieff Morris?

I like what I saw of Udoh, he's got potential.
It all really depends on him..what kind of attitude does he have? His work ethic. I can see him having a long career..sort of like a John Salley..barring injuries. But he could also be a guy that is out of the league in 3 to 4 years. It really depends on him.
i think he has all the drive to always improve.. he showed that hunger during his wrist injury it will show.. just watch..
he always put himself in the huddle and shadowed our practices as best he could with his wrist injury.. also, the thing i really like alot is that udoh has a great personality and presence he is not a softy and gets pumped up on the court and fired up but he is not a head case or a negative presence in the locker room and i seriously doubt we will see many scandals of him with guns in the locker or gambling or getting a bunch of useless technicals…
i expect his offense to really show improvement…
his defense is what seperates him from monroe obviously and i think is more important that monroes offense

It's nice that he's a nice guy. But it's just that unless he gets more efficient finishing inside, rebounds better for starts.
I like him too, but he’s limited thus far and needs to improve. He’s got variety to his o-game, it just hasn’t materialized into results yet.

which means he’ll be a serviceable nba big man who plays good defense but has a limited offensive game. that’s his ceiling

Nah, a lot of us really liked him near the end of the season because of all the evidence showing how well he does on defense. I mean, there were people wondering if it was SSS, but I think a fairly big amount of us liked him.

Sorry about the confusion.
I was being sincere. The mood on GSOM really has warmed up to Udoh as the season was ending. Beans collapse & the realization of just how incredibly bad Lee’s D has also contributed to people liking Udoh imho.
For myself:
I’m seeing Beans + Lee on the Warriors for a few more seasons because of how untradeable their contracts have made them. It’s good to have Udoh & have at least one big man that can play D & also doesn’t have emotional/mental issues.
I dunno
looks like he does ok!

I think we should have drafted a more well rounded player at 6.
You don’t see players like Ekpe drafted at 6. A comparable player is Joel Anthony, and he went undrafted. It goes to show we didn’t make a good value pick. However, Ekpe’s been pretty good. Most #6’s in the past few drafts have been complete scrubs, so the fact Udoh can be a rotation player is good. I would have really liked to have drafted Paul George, but oh well.
I like Ekpe.

and to expect Bismack to be even better at defense than udoh ... i dunno sounds like a tall order
as far as udoh not being well rounded, i can definately see the rebound discrepancy but i think he has a nice shooting stroke and can develope a decent midrange game… i hope other parts of his game come around.. but his mere defensive presence drops other teams scoring by 7 pts per game? that is verrrry refreshing around warriors world.. and we still need more defense

There seems to be a theory that Udoh is a backup PF if BB is drafted?
However Udoh seems to need to be in the C spot so if we draft BB we may have a funny rotation problem unless of course Udoh developes his offense/gives up the block shot deal for rebounding position and BB takes over the shot blocking?
In that senerio the big question is…can BB hold his own against NBA big men in the C position. If he really is 19/20 then we can just consider him a project(to develope overall game) but a usefull disruptive asassin at first?

ya i do picture udoh taking the 4 spot behind lee with BB at the 5 behind udoh....

Cannot disagree with you there GSCurry
Most probably Paul George, Ed Davis, Monroe and even Aminu down the road will be considered more valuable players overall than Udoh. However he probably is the best team fit “as constructed” as a solid defensive big especially considering Dorell W’s addition to the team and Lee’s defense/Beans self destruction.
The elephant in the rm with him is his lack of rebounding which must improve or else he will just be a role player. Which would be a shame. IF Udoh can develope a 10-12pt offense+ min 8 rebounds+ maintain his defensive threat….then he will always be a solid starter with value.

My guess is that it will be determined by who the Warriors draft.
If the Warriors draft a guard who can rotate with Curry & Monta then they might just lowball Reggie & cause him to leave.
I doubt that happens.
But it’s a possibility.

i would believe in udoh...
if he showed anything at all that would lead me to believe he would be “a nightmare”, his offensive game is terrible, but the thing that really scares me is he cant rebound which is something that cant be taught…turiaf at best
Monroe and Biyombo would be the REAL combo
offensive player/somebody who can actually rebound in monroe and biyombo as a great defender and rebounder off the bench compared to two good defenders with no offensive game and udoh is such a wimp i dont see him ever being confident enough to take over offensively in a game/ the dubs could have got an undrafted or 2nd round player who would be as good as him or slightly worse than him
