incremental improvements. He was always a hack-a-minute defender with occasional bursts of highlight worthy play who looked decent versus inferior competition. Atiki is that good raw athletic talent who picked basketball too late in life and never made the quantum leaps hoped for. We were all hoping for a repeat of Zach Edey, Hakeen Olajuwon or Dikembe Mutombo. I still wish the kid good luck. Maybe he will yet learn the game to be a consistent performer.
