Steady role for Villanova Boakye is averaging 5.7 points and 6.3 rebounds across 19.8 minutes through six games to start the season for Villanova. Impact Boakye has started all six games at center for the 3-3 Wildcats, though he often gives way to Eric Dixon when coach Kyle Neptune wants to go with a smaller lineup -- hence the lower minutes total despite not often finding himself in foul trouble. The Fresno State transfer is more utilized for his rim protection and rebounding than his offense, though despite a slight scoring dip from last season, he's shooting an efficient 64.7 percent from the field, which would represent a career high.
