Toibu "Tobi" Lawal

A juggernaut? That's high praise. Reminds me a lot of Kendrick Warren. Can't wait to see what he does on the floor. Not mentioning the charity stripe.
 
I think a comparison of Tobi to the Toppin kid at Dayton could be fair. Toppin was raw when he got to Dayton. Not saying that Tobi will be national POY in a couple years but you never know.

I think it’s a good development that Tobi is now taking Fermin’s minutes, and that’s not an indictment of Ferm. Ferm has improved a lot since last year and will continue to get better, but the 30+ minutes that he’s had to play in several games do not match the modest production that we’ve been getting from that position.

Tobi playing a lot of his minutes at the 5 will allow continued minutes for Belle, Kuany and probably help with working Bairstow back in.

As Odom has said, there’s a lot of flexibility with this roster. Guys just need to continue getting better on both sides of the floor, like Tobi is doing.
