How Amare Bynum’s ascent could help unlock Ohio State’s ceiling​

Freshman forward Amare Bynum is emerging as the bench scorer Ohio State desperately needs, and his rise could reshape the Buckeyes’ ceiling this season.

Ohio State freshman Amare Bynum is beginning to emerge right when the Buckeyes need him most. After posting a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double against Western Michigan and following it with eight points in the blowout win over Mount St. Mary’s, Bynum is carving out real momentum in the rotation.
His efficiency and activity in limited minutes are early signs that he’s ready for more responsibility as the season builds.

The bench scoring problem​

Ohio State has opened the season strong, but the Achilles’ heel of this roster is clear in my opinion, the Buckeyes lack reliable bench production.

The starters have shouldered nearly all of the scoring load, and outside of occasional spurts, the second unit has struggled to create offense or keep the momentum going.

That’s why Bynum’s emergence matters so much, he provides something this roster truly lacks. Energy, interior scoring, rebounding, and physicality off the bench.

As defenses scout the Buckeyes more heavily through Big Ten play, additional scoring threats will be critical. Bynum already looks like a player who can fill that void.

Why Bynum’s upside matters​

Bynum wasn’t just another random recruit. He was a four-star prospect from Link Academy with real pro upside thanks to his size, athleticism, and improving offensive skill set. The flashes he’s showing now mirror what evaluators liked coming out of high school:

• Strong finishing at the rim
• High motor on the glass
• Ability to step out or face up
• Physicality that translates immediately

If Ohio State continues to give him minutes, his development curve suggests he could be one of the most impactful freshmen in the Big Ten this season, and potentially one of the most important long-term pieces on the roster.

Sixth man potential, or more​

Ooooh, like this guy. Kinda like a colt, running around, but not exactly knowing where to go/do. Plenty of potential here, just gotta teach it, and hopefully he's wise enough to watch the upperclassmen, to see 'how's it done'.
