Rak is already a good center. We would be asking two players to learn something new if we ask Rak to move to pf and a freshmen DC to learn center. Why go away from what is already working?
 
More of a stretch that both pieces will fill in then for Rak to spell center minutes and our smaller lineup to get 20 minutes at the four. We already know that works. Especially considering we are going to new isolation players on the offensive end. Nobody knows, they could be really efficient scorers.
 
I love triche I do. Hes a solid defender but he kinda played third guard, and brought the defense at the times when he had the energy to do so. Guys like Dion/Fair last year always brought it. Triche reads the passing lanes well ,gets his hands up, and plays aggressive in your face defense was for short periods. But people can forget he will be logging even more minutes this year possibly taking away even more of his aggressive periods.
 
MCW needs to be our perimeter defender this year and I like the idea of grant or James being one.
I could see James always bringing it. I could see MCW always bringing it. Its just their aggressive style. Will they get beat off the dribble sure but they can be in a opponents face constantly. I don't think Triche has the stamina James and MCW do. Hes more of a slo-mo type who makes aggressive plays on both ends. Hes not the in your face type on both ends. Even his drives were better off the ball. He can play some very good extended d at times though and get his arms up.
