Big Baby's Bulls Beatdown

[asterix ninetynine]

Outworked and outhustled is right.  I notice that he seems to get that big body up and down the court pretty quickly.  His conditioning looks good, but I wonder if it will continue over the course of the season.  Most rookies hit a wall later on in the season.  If hustle is your strong suit, hitting the wall could be dire come March.

He matched up with BigBen nicely because of his size: just a couple of years
back BBen would eat his lunch, but his speed and athleticism is nowhere
close to what it used to be. Baby simply outworked, outhustled him. Besides,
he moves much better to shut down the paint - nice to have this wide body,
even though you're barely 6'7"...  but if you play another 6'7"...
