Tunde Vahlberg Fasasi looks and plays like Billy Taylor '75

I guess I'm giving my age away by saying this, but I can't help but notice how much Tunde looks like and plays like former Explorers great Billy Taylor ( 1972 - 1975 ) :  digitalcommons.lasalle.edu/basketball_media_guides/18

23won : large enough sample size yet ?

Not yet 67, but as I said December 18 on the A10 schedule thread, Tunde and Andres needed to get more minutes - as we needed more size and 3 ball scoring in order to succeed in A10 play. I think Fran is getting more comfortable with his lineup options and I am glad to see both getting more time. If Tunde can develop into Billy that would be awesome. Off season conditioning and summer immersion into more US style play would help IMO.

If I am remembering correctly at this (Fassi's) stage of Billy Taylor's career Billy was playing with a pretty talented freshman team with Booby Jones and Kevin McBain.

billy taylor was before my time but tunde does resemble him.  if tunde can give us anywhere near the numbers that billy put up, that would be phenomenal.
