Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4617654, member: 40"] Long term roster management is EXACTLY what I'm concerned about. We don't know what Jesse is going to do, but even best case scenario we only have him for one more year. The other bigs on the roster are Hima and Brown, who is a PF. Renting a portal transfer for one year doesn't solve that problem beyond next season, either. That's what would be trrrrible roster management, and short sighted. And we'd be right back in the same spot, scrambling to line up a player to replace Jesse, unless we bring somebody in who can get his feet wet in year 1, then be ready for an expanded role in year 2. We have open scholarships. Attrition won't be a problem. We can add players for both long term and short term. A player like Fielder has a high skill level, and is a plus rebounder / shot blocker -- he isn't a "project." He's exponentially more refined / developed than Patterson -- if you want to cut somebody loose, that's the guy. [/QUOTE]
