    Boki has been doing a fine job. He's playing good defense, although some would say he doesn't if he let's a guy get by him once or twice......but generally, he's playing good defense, aggressive even.
    He is shooting well at the moment.
    He has blocked a shot in each of the last three games.
    He is rebounding very well.
    He actually passes the ball quickly, and doesn't dribble much. When he does dribble, it is often a quick drive to the middle, for a setup play to the inside-which he does very well. When the ball movement goes south, Boki comes in and gets it going, along with Padgent.
    I think that our guards, namely Steve and Cuttino, don't use him enough. They seem to ignore him too much. Against the Raptors (I believe) Steve made about 3 bad fast break decisions, and the last one involved Boki. Actually it didn't. Boki was trailing Steve, Steve looks straight back at Boki, but holds the ball and goes for the layup himself, against a 7 footer. And misses. Actually, I think that happened in the Dallas game, with Dirk going against Steve. Anyway, Boki isn't getting many touches with Steve in the game. He doesn't need to shoot the ball all the time, but playing a team game involves sharing the rock.

    Go Boki! Look for your chance when Steve leaves the game!

    :p
