Totally agree, but my point was more of the mid-major player as a whole.

A guy like Davis as a backup has been fine and has his moments. He's clearly undersized vs better teams.

Carlos simply doesn't have the size or skill to compete vs better teams. His skill level worked at Hofstra to a degree, he still wasn't an elite player there, but he literally can't finish at the rim at this level. He can't shoot 3s to overcome it. He can't defend the speed at this level. He doesn't have the size so players shoot over him at this level. I know some would use the "he was supposed to be a backup". I don't see how he can play for 10 mins vs better teams.

Make no mistake...He's trying out there...he just doesn't have the attributes. If we are going to play the mid major game to fill the starting rotation, it has to be someone who was ELITE at that level. Every guy we got was "pretty good" and all SRs at that, so not even someone we can build on.
