UC Color Commentator Terry Nelson on Aziz Bandaogo's Impact

Transcript

00:00 >> Yeah, people get they don't wanna come in there.

00:03 When he's in there, if there was one thing I would change with Aziz Mendejos,

00:07 I would be more like Kenyan Martin and use my elbows to work you off when you're

00:10 trying to back me in.

00:11 He puts his arms straight up in the air, which makes him skinny.

00:16 And he's already a real thin guy anyway, and

00:18 allows the bigger guys to back him into the basket before he tries to block the shot.

00:23 Whereas you can use your elbows in the back and you're backing the guy in,

00:26 you can use your elbows, you can't use it when the guy is facing you.

00:28 But you can use it as a sort of a rail to sort of keep that guy coming.

00:33 But whether he blocked the shot or changed the shot, how many times last night

00:38 you saw guys getting to the paint, pump, paint, pump, paint, pump, paint,

00:40 and then pass it back out?

00:41 Cuz they realized, man, this guy is standing over me, his hands are straight up,

00:46 I can't even see the rim, I'm gonna pass and relocate.

00:49 And that's the bandego effect.

00:50 They have to get more from Jamil Reynolds.

00:53 If Jamil is not gonna give you deep post position,

00:55 if he's not gonna call for the ball, if he's not gonna run the floor,

00:57 he's not a very good rebounder, then the bench is gonna get shortened.

01:01 And Aziz and Victor Lockett need more time.
