Andy played mostly 2G, and the fact that we had smaller forwards 15 years ago (or more recently in a pinch) doesn't mean it's the best option in today's ACC. Another scorer might help offensively, as Brooky noted. But rebounding and defense are the traits that helped last year's team overachieve. When we had White at the position - 6'7 and every bit as big as Hughes - he couldn't hang on the glass (4.5 rpg) or defend the rim. This past year, we had (OB) size and springs there and boom the guy's pulling down almost 8 rpg. That's HUGE. We were finally on the plus-side on the glass, even though the zone limits defensive rebounding. This year, I think we'll have the depth and talent to run more and play faster, so possessions MIGHT not be as critical as last year. And we're only arguing over a backup for a few minutes. But I'm in wait-and-see mode on Hughes trying to survive at forward. For my money, Bras can't come up to speed too soon.
