Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 1256617, member: 1423"] Hey, Francis, happy new year to you. Interesting situation we have here, with 13 schollies loaded up and TB looking to come in next year. In some ways, a great problem to have, unless you're down on the totem poll. Anyway, let me throw this line of thinking out there: 1- I don't see Obokoh going anywhere due to his ties to TB and the need for depth behind Bryant/DC2. Two quality Centers and a third under development is certainly not a log jam at the ACC level (Len Hamilton did this last night shuttling two 7 footers). TB could come in and immediately make an impact for us. He has great size at 6'10, an excellent BB IQ and (unlike DC2) can play above the rim. My hope is that he comes in equal to DC2 on offense if not better and this would enable JB to start him or give him starters minutes at C depending on how DC2 recovers from a season rehabbing; 2- The other bigs who have signed LOI's don't change this formula b/c they are not center prospects: for example, Lydon looks like a stretch 4 and a 3-4 year kid. Diagne has PF size and length, and could backup CM, allowing TR to slide over to SF if his outside shot arrives; 3- That leaves Howard and Richardson. Malachi can shoot it but he'd be behind TC at SG, TR and MG at SF. I'm not sure where the staff sees Howard contributing at 6'6" ... but I'm hoping with his handle and knack for passing, he could back up the point along with some guidance from MG. C - Bryant/DC2 .. Chino backup; PF - CM (?), MD and TL; SF- TR with MG and BJ; SG - TC with MR (MG available) and RP; PG - KJ (with MG available) and FH backing up. This is 14, with the variables being the return of CM and Pay Pal and his money handlers swooping in for TB. Short of that, something has to give. RP? What am I missing and where have I gone horribly wrong here? ;) [/QUOTE]
