Jordan Naughton is our best rebounder.

Jordan played a great game. He's got massive potential and needs to be playing 25 min a game. We rebound so much better when he' out there.
 
Future looks good for our bigs. Assuming moumeka is decent and barnes learns how to be big, we'll have 3 bangers and a stretch. Watching these guys now is fun, but it isn't even a dress rehearsal yet for next year, when our bigs are going to rock.

Agreed.

I do think Moemeka is a different kind of animal, and with the redshirt year, he's going to bring the athleticism we're lacking in the post after DC and Nance left.

For now though, I've seen a lot more good things from Jordan in limited minutes then I have out of Barnes or even Herndon, although Herndon is more of a stretch four.

I really like Naughton
 
I was impressed with Naughton tonight. Give this kid more minutes and those 1 second late, not quite ready for the ball things will disappear. I think he has more potential than Barnes just because of his aggressive nature.

He has more potential because his hands aren't made of granite. Jordan has much better timing and feel for the game. All these things probably come from playing the game much longer than Barns has. I'd still like to see Barns redshirt.
 
You know how you can tell how big your puppy is gonna get by the size of his feet? Well when Naughton grows into that giant head of his he is going to be a monster.

Lol.
 
Naughton reminds me of cooke when he got here, I remember times shaking my head and yelling at the TV because he couldn't manage to catch a pass from Adams. As time progressed Cooke got better on the receiving end and became a dunk machine.

Naughton could do the same but it is going to take a little longer I think if Cooke never spent a year in JC he would have taken longer to develop at UW and that is what we are going to see with Naughton it's going to take hima full year before he is catching those no look passes from Adams.

Love what I see from him after yesterday he is the premier big man on this team unless Barnes steps up big time I see his playing time increase while Barnes will decrease.

I wish Barnes and Naughton could both get it going.

Not just one.
We would be monsters in the next couple seasons if we had two 6'11 guys contributing at the same time.
 
Jordan "The Sheriff" Naughton just doesn't take much shit in the key. I love how he's just mixing it up already so heavily as a freshmen. When's the last time we had a freshmen big with that kind of fight? Ugo??? I'm just tickled silly by this GET on recruiting. All of sudden I'm starting to feel a lot more confident in our bigs future with Jordan leading the mix. It can only help JB to have to go against him in practice too. Maybe some of that aggression can rub off onto him. Can't wait till Naughton is starting because he'll have earned it big time.
 
really think this kid is gonna win our hearts over and be a big force down low once the confidence gets better and better, he's selling himself on me for sure, I like him!!!!
 
What I like is the look on his face: "Wow. Am I really in here as a freshman? Playing in D1 ball with all these good players?" Gorski the same look.
