The biggest thing is not just whether or not kyle can defend, but defend without picking up early fouls.

He has the athleticism to log a lot of minutes and we’re going to need him to do that. We’re so thin at big after him and Donnie - there will be times when it would almost be better for him to give up a bucket rather than make a challenge that results in him going into foul trouble early.

My biased take is that it’s nice to finally have someone in the media see our full potential. Still, these guys gave some very smart, objective analysis. I’m confident that the internet darlings like Matt Norlander have no idea whether or not we hired a GM, let alone name him so effortlessly.

Their points about Autry being able to manage roles is very astute, but I’m not worried about our guys buying into a team forward mentality.

For all that’s been said about the players, as people I don’t seem them as extremely high ego, “me first” type players. Frankly, in the 17 years I’ve followed the team closely I can only remember one situation about role that was an issue. We just tend to attract humble guys.

I’ll call my shot now. Assuming no major injuries, this will be a tournament team. Autry will sing a tune sweet enough to earn his supper and get an extension, or at least not get fired.
