"BIGS" O'Dell Wilson Thread...
Can't believe this future legend doesn't have his own thread.
BIGS looked awesome out there on the court tonight in his 1st game as a Bison.
NDSU needs a guy like him down low, banging and clanging and throwing his weight around..
Bjorkland had great positioning and moves, Dexter was more of a 3/4, Rocky Krueser is even a 4 in my opinion.
BIGS is a 5... a legit 5.
Can't wait to watch him progress... in meantime. here's a video of him scoring 31... (fast forward the 1st 42 seconds) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COmT...ature=youtu.be
Re: "BIGS" O'Dell Wilson Thread...
A legit 5? The kid is 6'6" 250lb. He plays more like a forward than a 5. Bjorkland was 6'8" and used to wrestling pigs and had the best footwork I've seen come through NDSU. Dex looked to be physical and had the length with his arms to play 5. Not to mention a motor and game intelligence that was above those he played against. Wilson will get owned by anyone with height. I hope he proves me seriously wrong.
Re: "BIGS" O'Dell Wilson Thread...
6'6" with his frame is plenty big to be a legit threat in the post in the Summit League with good enough fundamentals and footwork. He doesn't need to be a true 5 as in "go park your butt in the post and don't leave until it's time to get back on defense" but having a guy who's a legit back-to-the-basket threat opens up the offense so much since defenses are forced to collapse on guys like that when they get the ball in the post. He's got potential it seems but I think he's got a ways to go before he can be a contributor based on what I saw last night.
Re: "BIGS" O'Dell Wilson Thread...
Well Biggs will have a year to get his body, feet and mind into the game. He will be redshirting. Looks to be a banger type in the middle and did have a really nice move to the basket last night.
Re: "BIGS" O'Dell Wilson Thread...
Odell could be a real good player but you will never have more of a legit 5 than what Bjorklund was. He allowed you guys to play so many different ways.
Re: "BIGS" O'Dell Wilson Thread...
Legit 5s are very hard to find. How about just play to our strength and not worry about what we dont have.

Kid needs a redshirt year. Will really benefit him. Very raw. Excited about the youth of this team, positionless ball. I actually think this team will get better as the year goes on. which will be nice.

why the heck would Dave Redshirt him? We need a street guy down low, a real O.G. Oral Roberts, Iupui always gave us fits with a 6 6 240 guy down low.
I want BIGS to play asap, we need to juice!

I have seen BIG WIL in some pictures from this weekend he looks thick can't wait to add his game to our roster. I bet he played as zion in practice this week.
