Clemson vs. Georgia Tech

January 19, 2010 by Justin Shulman

Lawal made a big impact against the Tigers despite limited minutes due to foul trouble.  Lawal was relentless in the post, using excellent footwork and a never ending motor to post 16 points on 7-10 fg shooting.  Lawal was most effective utilizing his strength on putbacks, layups, and rebounds.  Lawal is an excellent finisher around the rim and can do so with both hands.  Gani will have to shows scouts that he can play a little further from the basket and develop a face up game to excel at the next level.  Defensively, Gani has long arms and uses his body to make life difficult inside the paint for opponents.  Gani had 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in twenty minutes of play.  Lawal needs to learn to put the ball on the floor and beat defenders off the dribble.  Until then Lawal will be somewhat limited offensively.

20 MINS, 7-10 FG, 10 REB, 2 BLK, 16 PTS
