we have to agree to disagree then. I think Kyle has been way better than I thought he would and held his own pretty well. but its not like he is shutting down the paint or anything. yeah he gets a lot of blocks and highflying dunks but he also gives up a lot of dunks and layups etc

i actually like kyle and think he is very likable and easy to root for. he plays very smart (given his skillset) and competes with the best of them. im not attacking him.

for me, yeah I am fine with him as a center. despite all of his limitations.

but just because I do like him as a player doesnt mean I am blind to his deficiencies (and there are several)

beyond that when you look at the 3 centers on the roster as a whole...its a group that is seriously lacking...the 2nd and 3rd string might as well be walkons basically. as if that isnt an issue???

i never really had a problem with kyle being 1 of the centers...it was more him being the only legit option.

importantly, given all of that, I dont think the team;s interior defense is good enough (in large part due to a lack of size, an opinion I stand by) and will cost the team games in the future. even though kyle is prettty good and better than I anticipated, I predict future top tier opponents (really the only opponents I care about) will game plan how to take advantage of SUs weak interior and do so effectively.
