Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 61573, member: 485"] Good post, General20. Don't understand your hesitation about Christmas being in the rotation. If Melo is providing some of the offense he showed on Tuesday, we can definitely have a PF who mostly plays defense and gets boards. Christmas is a top 25 recruit -- just no way he fails to make our 8 man rotation. There will be times when we line up Kris and CJ as the two forwards; but you will likely see Christmas at forward for more than 20 minutes most games. Also, I don't see Keita (this year at least) playing anywhere other than center. He isn't practicing at PF; his skills require him to be close to the hoop; plenty of minutes available in splitting the center spot with Melo. For this month and next, Southerland will have several opportunities to see the court and show if he has found another dimension to his game. Maybe not in the NIT semis or finals, or against Florida, but that leaves lots of opportunities. [/QUOTE]
