Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 5194355, member: 237"] Wins over stats. I’d rather him be an efficient 10, 5 and 3 ast with closer to a bpg on D and we win 24 games than caring on his total boards. He’s a big body who on tape seals and boxes out well. Donnie is a good rebounder- but more as an athlete than it being about physicality. Lampkin occupying bodies to let others hit the boards work fine. Colorado had 3 other guys average 5 boards a game. We had one guy last year average over 5 (Maliq). If you watch their tape- the wings and forwards got on the boards because they were battling the opponents big man- Eddie had him occupied. That’s what we need. We’ve seen this before when we had actual size in the middle and athletes on the wing vs being undersized or beanpoles. Now I get Colorado had 3 draft picks etc etc but fundamentally a big guy doing his job as a space occupier vs a traditional shot blocker should be making it easier for others to hit the glass.
