Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 4357142, member: 237"] If we were making sure we have a serviceable or better center every year then it's a non issue. That has not been the case in our struggles since 14 with often having to play a forward in the pivot due to issues/youth/weaknesses with the raw/developmental centers on the roster. Jesse has been a refreshing change of pace but it's looking like Jesse is the anomaly and we will be headed back to the same challenges. If Patterson comes we need both Carey and Hima to make a big jump and that's dependent on Careys position once the staff sees what they have by next year. Brown is per some comments sounding like a very good defensive player but at 6-9, that's still possibly another undersized scenario. Fielder if we can land him is a 4 man with wing skills and tough around the hoop. Another guy that if we lose a year or two in by not having a natural center that is ready we return to forcing another 4 to play the 5. [/QUOTE]
