Kyser on a roll

We thought Isaiah Massey, the 6-foot-8 redshirt freshman transfer from Ole Miss, would be the most immediately helpful newcomer to the Louisiana Tech frontline But nNeither for the first time, nor the last, PTW was wrong.

That particular honor, at least so far this season, goes to 6-foot-9 Michale Kyser, also a year out of high school after a season at a prep institution.

Kyser has appeared in all 12 Bulldog games and is averaging just over 15 minutes a contest. His offensive skills remain raw but he is grabbing 2.8 rebounds each time out, split almost evenly at 16 offensive and 18 defensive.

However, what has stood out is Kyser's 31 blocked shots, culminating in seven rejections during 16 minutes of court time, versus Northeastern on December 20. Also, Kyser was credited with three swats in but seven minutes of play in the previous matchup with UALR and in the contest prior to that, Kyser blocked two shots in seven minutes.

Get him a flyswatter endorsement.
