NBCSports Reported That Ado With His 67th Blocked Shot Tonight Is Tied with.....

I love Ado, but he's not breaking that record. Here's why:

1) Let's remember that the 3 years after Varnado's 67 blocks as a freshman he went 157, 170, and 170. Those numbers are ridiculous and I'm not sure Ado can get there.

2) Varnado did that 67 his freshman year averaging 13 minutes a game. Ado has averaged 26 minutes a game. So he's got the same number of blocks in twice the minutes played.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Ado and his potential. But Varnado is the greatest shot blocker of all time. The fact is that his freshman year Varnado averaged one block every 6 minutes of play. Ado is averaging one block every 12 minutes of play. Ado has a LONG way to go to get to where Varnado was.

I agree on shot blocking. I think ado passes JV as an all around player though.

I agree on shot blocking. I think ado passes JV as an all around player though.

He's already got better moves in the post and plays a tad more quickly around the rim than Varnado did at this point. Ado needs to get his hands better and anticipate facilitation from our guards much better. He's wasted easy buckets because he's got bad hands around the rim on passes.

If he fixes those things he will become a 12 point a night kind of guy next year and will do so without having to take points away from anyone else. He will just be able to maximize his opportunities better.
