But on the other hand, Paulie--in terms of maximizing his long term value to the team [to say nothing of maximizing what he has left in his career at SU], it would probably be better for him to have two fully healthy years, where he could (1) replace Rak next year,  (2) space himself out from Rak by a year, and (3) have an opportunity to make a two year significant impact than having him hobble through this year and only have one year remaining.

If [when, hopefully] we land Bryant, then I'll be a LOT less worried about the center position next year.  If he doesn't come here, then we're down to Coleman and Diagne, and there is no guarantee that Coleman will be able to bounce back physically.

There is no doubt he could help us this year in a reserve capacity.  The question is: is it worth sacrificing a full year of potential starting capability for a 1/2 year of impaired, reserve capability this year.

Tough call, but if he isn't healthy, it makes for an easy decision.
