Alexis Wangmene

Ok...I haven't been keeping up.
Is he still on the team?
Why isn't he playing?

Knee surgery. Out since the Oregon game. Not expected back this year.

 

[moondog_LFZ]

Man, we sure could use him.
That sucks.
That may be the biggest reason we are losing games.

I think DJ Augustine going pro might be the biggest reason we are losing games.

 

[moondog_LFZ]

Well, that hurt, but Alexis would have been more of a force inside than we've seen. Pittman has gotten better.

 

[Bob in Houston]

Yes, it appears you haven't been keeping up.

It's not like Wangmene was a starter before he was injured. He's not the reason the record isn't better.

 

[moondog_LFZ]

The reason I started this thread is because I caught some clips of the last few games from last year.
Wangmene was starting to come on pretty good and the other players were really praising his work ethic.
Of course D.J. leaving is the prime reason we are not a better team.
But I am discussing the players we have.
And I agree that Wangmene would definately have helped out where Chapman and Atchley are concerned.
Those nights where A.J. was off or covered up I think Alexis would have been a big help.

Because we would have had more presence inside therefore opening up the outside shooting.
No, I wouldn't expect Alexis to start hitting threes.

He hasn't been watching, so he doesn't know that our guards (outside of Abrams) aren't guarded past about five feet from the basket. We could have Karl Malone inside and it wouldn't matter.

He is in good spirits and doing what he has to in order to be healthy again and ready to go. The Washing Machine will return!
