I think it is fair to say Edey is the best post player of his generation.  I certainly wasn't being derogatory by comparing him to an all time college great! Mourning was a great post player in a generation of post players.  If you are rating us only on a "this season" basis, we can ignore my tongue and cheek reference to a guy who played in college before many posters we born.

By the "this season" post ability standard, I would give us an incomplete.  I have seen both Kyle and White make plays from the post.  They rarely are posting up and getting fed the ball in a traditional back them down and get the entry pass manner... But they are going back to the basket from time to time on offensive rebounds and drive and dish situations.  They are definitely not only scoring from Alley Oops, which is all I expected going into the season.  I would say a 6, in this low post scoring era of basketball.

I really thought Freeman would be our only post player, and that we would use him there far more than we have. We will see if that changes if and when he comes back.  If White can continue to get in position to use that baby hook with his right hand, I think that adds a lot of versatility to the offense.

If he can do it enough where he is going to force double teams... Watch out!
