If he can limit his reaches and keep the fouls down he will put us on his back

He sweats a lot too!

Richard Howell has improved drastically over the last two years. He still needs to develop a 10 foot jumper. The fact that he is the primary center, with little back up may hurt his game as the long season wears on. He must stay out of foul trouble and avoid fatique in order for NCSU to do damage this year.

True, but State's smaller lineup with Leslie and Warren in the frontcourt isn't bad either, especially if they can get better at forcing turnovers. But Richard Howell (when he's not being "Richard Fowell") is a force in the paint, and ultra-consistent. I'm very glad State has him.

I would love to have him on my team anyday

He makes my all glue team for sure. State can survive with a smaller lineup, but the offense thrives with a big man in the lineup. I do think that with Warren replacing Wood in the starting lineup, State may have the most talented starting 5 in the triangle. It is a matter of how that translates in the W/L column, and that is where coaching comes in.

he can be a double-double regular with more minutes...he almost averages a double-double playing just over half the game!?....if he didnt have a terrible ft shooting%, he would be more dangerous..with the way he plays, hes gonna get fouled

RE: Howell Most Efficient Player In College BBall

I think as State fans we're all just happy to see him being mentally tougher. Several games last year, he hung his head and checked out of the game, even though he was still on the sideline (much like the OK State game, where he had Leslie as company). But since then, he seems to have found some reserve of fortitude. If he can continue being Mr Consistent, I think he'll emerge as the bona fide leader of this team.

He always looked like a good player, he has just never been able to stay in long enough. Check his stats from last year.
