Michael Ajayi

He didn't go to the camp guys until a little bit later, but he did go.

Michael Ajayi actually got some time early in this one.

Man, just something you got to monitor with how much the players love him.

With him just getting a little bit earlier action than even a Steinbach.

Had the ball knocked loose at least once.

Maybe it happened multiple times.

All that to say, it's the energy, it's the doing the small things to help a team win type of mantra that you bring with Michael Ajayi.

Just something to note.

Uh, I see them basically playing majority of the minutes coming in.

Of course, the two-way players in, in, in PJ Hall and, uh, M- uh, Michael Ajayi will be playing a little bit more, uh, focused basketball as well in terms of trying to get, uh, the system running for Coach Charles Lee.

They're gonna be moving the ball a lot.

Kobe White not being there is going to be a little challenging.

According to WFNZ interview with Kyle Bailey during Monday's media day, he says because of the injuries and some of the roster turnovers because we have so much roster depth and versatility that anyone can play on any given night.

I'm looking forward to the competition that is going to come into camp.

The training camp and I will have some tough decisions to make, but these guys make it hard because they are talented and competitive.

We have to figure out what are the right pieces to put out on the court and give us the best chance to win every night.

Rising second-year players in terms of Sean James and Ryan Kockbrenner were rotational mainstays last season, while Tijon and Liam McNeely both looked good early in the year after spending a final few months in Greensboro, where they helped the Greensboro Swarm get their first G League title.

McNeely is coming off the second team all-Summer League honors after putting up 21.7 points per game in the Summer League, shooting 53% from the three-point line, in three appearances back in july as far as the upcoming rookies that's there according to henness stombach who was the first freshman to lead the division one in rebounding in almost 20 years and a point guard in kristen anderson jr who shot 41.5 percent from deep last season and topped the big 12 confidence in both assists and minutes The two-way forward Michael Ajayi, who also drew praise from veteran leader Nas Reid on media day, and guard Kylan Boswell, who's returning with PJ Hall, could be all options down the line as time goes along.

He says, I'm working all my physicality and speed to Steinbach who is potentially seeing minutes at the four because of his floor spacing ability, especially playing against a guy like Musa Diabate.

He is very physical and he's very fast for his size.

Shout out Trevin Parks at Hickory High that played at Johnson C. Smith.

Where's Michael Ajayi from? We're excited about him.

Look that up.

You got Nasri talking about Ajayi.

My hometown still gets some love.

Training camp begins.

Maybe we talk about Michael Ajayi and the competition down in Charleston, this training camp.

We'll get to it coming up next, LOH.

Bradham was last year.

Michael Ajayi, of course, that's another two-way player as well.

All the two ways are going to stay.

But the main thing is who is going to be that last cut candidate.

So that's my expected 10-man rotation on this team, and this team, it, it is, it is pretty deep.

So what do we look at now? Like, who is on the rest of this roster? Well, the other smalls here, we've got Rob Dillingham, there's Sion James, Hans Christian Andersen, Kylan Boswell, and Michael Ajayi, Aj- Ajayi, who are two-way guys.

I- I originally I thought Dillingham might make the roster, but I did a little bit more research.

It looks...

Uh, last thing, just a, a finishing touch on some of the two-way contracts here.

So the guys occupying those spots, it's Michael Ajayi, who had a really nice summer league session-

Mm-hmm

...

And I think back to the Butler teams that we've seen over these past few years, and even for the lack of institutional capital they may have in terms of men's basketball, they've brought in some really good players.

Michael Ajayi that we saw last season.

Obviously, Finley Bizjack was a homegrown prospect that went on to West Virginia this year, but averaged 17 in the Big East and was a really talented scorer.

You can look back at guys like DJ Davis and Jamil Telford, and you can go on and on.
