Isn't he supposed to raise his leg, like Capt. Morgan?

He's completely reshaped his body from his HS days, and even since his FR/SO years at Cal. In HS & as a FR the guy could barely make it up & down the court. After his injury back in 2015 he lost a lot of weight (40 lbs) to take the stress off the knees. Been a different guy since.
Stoked to see him fit into this roster. Should be a 7 & 7 guy & he complements Narain very well.

Rooks is looking better than I remember him. Totally unrelated, but good to see Anthony Bolton coaching the Panthers (I'm sure Erik can appreciate it, haha). I went to junior high with him and we played on the same little league team back in the early 90's. |

My favorite Rooks stat: Rooks had more second chance points (per minute) than any MWC player last season.
The Aztecs really fell in 2nd chance points over the last 2 seasons. Hopefully Rooks will bring back the Aztecs former great ability to gets points after a miss.

If healthy I'd say he's an improvement because he fills more of a need. We already have a few players on the roster that are similar to Zylan

What chances do you give Rooks making NBA or Gatorade League ?

What chances do you give Rooks making NBA or Gatorade League ? Who cares? I'm more concerned about how he does as a college player. The "true center" position is becoming obsolete in the NBA, so unless you're a pick & pop post or are an athletic freak with a 7'6 wingspan your odds are very long. Right now that's not his game, so he'd need to significantly improve his mid-range game. Doable. Luckily, with his skillset he can still make a huge impact in college. |
