[...] only just. I see the hard work he puts in on the floor every single possession. But I also look at Ian Segovia's paean and wonder if we aren't all getting a bit too wrapped up in his intangibles and his (admittedly [...]

[...] Udoh has made the biggest jump for a Bucks player so far, moving up 74 spots. Like Ian, the voters realize that Udoh brings a lot more to the team than his box score would [...]

I second that. As fun as the stars make the game, the guys that do the little things and provide the cohesiveness and continuity for the team are just as important to win championships. As good as DWade and LBJ are they wouldn’t have gotten over the top without a bunch solid role-players who willingly took paycuts. Whether you are actively guarding the ball, playing help D, or looking for a rebound keeping good position has a huge impact. If Larry Sanders can learn from Udoh and stay in better position his value to the team will double

I’m hoping both Sanders and Udoh improve this year with Sam & Joe to mentor them at center. These guys have not had full season of practice and play with a center. It’s now or never guys!

It’s tough when you know any player personally to be objective about their abilities.
I will say this: There are 500 NBA players. In the world. They are all, by comparison to normal ballplayers, immensely talented. Some abuse that talent, and don’t work especially hard. Udoh is NOT a member of that group. I always appreciate effort, especially on “D’ I will say this about the Bucks team: they are all nice folks personally. These days, that is rare.

@jtshoopsblog As much as you might hate it, it’s one of those things where you can’t look at the statistics to indicate what Udoh is able to do for the team.

Listen, I am still trying to figure out the allure of Ekpe Udoh. His game is not really worth looking at, neither is his face for that matter. The man has no real discernible basketball skills whatsoever, does not play that many minutes and impact a team so greatly. I seriously want to see how these statisticians get the numbers that proclaim Udoh as this awesome player.
