Sidibe is a lot better than Chukwu. I guarantee that. I couldn't care less that I haven't seen BS play one second of college ball. He's better.   Sidibe played many games against tough competition and thrived.  Guys like Deng Gak amd even Nick Richards.  I'm not sure what JB will do with our lineup, but Sidibe is miles ahead of Chukwu in every facet. At the very least, Bourama has coordination of his arms and legs.  I know that's brutal towards PC but I'm just speaking the truth.  Hopefully, Chukwu will be more comfortable and understand his role as a guy who just needs to use his height. That's it.  Just stay in the paint and play tall.

Sidibe has a high hoops IQ, runs well, has good hands (he can finish layups with both; I've seen it with my own eyes) and can defend.  He's more than capable of making a 15 footer.  He is a mediocre foul shooter but his form is fine.  He needs to work on his strength.  He is thin but not skinny.  Think senior year BMK.  That could be an issue this year and I don't think he will be a big scorer this season but he can chip in.  He will get BMK comparisons but he has better hands and is a more capable offensive player.  Defensively, Baye wasn't a shot blocker but he really played the middle of the zone well, especially in help defense.. Sidibe is a shot blocker, so to me, that mitigates PC's only strength, when comparing the two players.
