Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 2161762, member: 393"] Having a 5 that can gain post position, turn over either shoulder AND finish with either hand is a huge advantage on O if for no other reason than how that threat forces the D to play/react. We have not seen that ability or threat since Christmas (Lydon did not have that skill set, and TT has not shown a post up game). From his tape, Sidibe definitely has that skill set. [B]IF[/B] he is strong enough to use those skills against the big boys, the O will suddenly look a lot better, even if he does not put up numbers. My guess is that Sidibe will be more valuable on D as a freshman. Again, assuming he has the strength to hold up, he has the movement ability and timing to cover his area and alter shots. PC is a much more of a stationary defender/shot blocker, and lacks the strength to hold position. TT has not yet shown the movement skills (or willingness?) to be effective at the 5. [/QUOTE]
