Obij Aget
C, 7-0, 220
Freshman, 21 years old
Hometown: La Porte, IN (via Sudan)
Notable: Aget originally signed for the 2012-13 season, but he tore his ACL and did not enroll in the fall of 2012, thereby not starting his eligibility clock.
Season (6.7 mpg): 1.3 PPG, 1.4 RPG
Practice Report: New Mexico Lobos
Tuesday, February 4 | The Pit (Albuquerque, NM)
Obij Aget — C, 7-0, 220
Freshman, 21 years old
Season (7.5 mpg): 1.5 PPG, 2 RPG, 0.3 BPG
Notes: Right now, Aget is as raw as they come.
Strengths
— 7-footer with a 6-10 (estimated) wingspan
— Tries to dunk everything inside the foul line
— Decent timing on blocks
Defects/Areas of Improvement
— No offensive moves
— As raw as they come (raw dribbling, passing, moving his feet, blocking shots)
— Stick skinny (only 220 pounds!)
— Already 21 years old
Aget has good size and athleticism for a PF/C, but he is very raw right now. In other words, the first observation anyone would have is that he’s still learning the fundamentals of playing basketball.
He can dunk the ball from a standing position, but clearly struggles to put the ball on the floor. Defensively, he’s a work in progress as well. During practice, Coach Neal lamented Aget’s inability to cover ground in the zone. He works hard and loves playing basketball, but right now there’s no semblance of skill present.
