We all want Fab back, but if he has to wait until the NCAA Tourney to get back in the games, I think that would create some issues with preparation for varying situations that other teams bring. It's good that he can practice with the team, but it may not be enough.
You can't create a larger front court in practice, because Syracuse doesn't have any players larger than Fab. He would not necessarily be prepared for a really big, strong, athletic bruiser in the Tourney if that sitch comes up. Also,
Getting into play earlier against UCONN & G'town will provide that level of competition that Fab Melo can expect deeper into the Dance...
I really want him to be back within 2 weeks.
