Not a chance in the world. He's nowhere near quick enough. There would be a deluge of 3-pointers from his side of the zone.

No. Not yet at least. Probably never for SU.

DC has enough trouble defending the post.
And you want him to close out on the wings?

In the same way that Rick played the 4 as a soph / junior--maybe some token minutes, but he's really a center in our system. But I don't think he has the lateral mobility to defend his zone responsibilities adequately as a primary 4. I think he might "start" there if Rak leaves next year, but my guess is that he'll play the vast majority of his minutes throughout the remainder of his career in the pivot.
In fact, with the personnel we have returning, he'd have a lot of competition at the 4--Grant, Rak, Roberson. My guess is that he'll be the starting center ever game he plays after this season.
