This is going to sound crazy to some people but the way the roster is currently constructed, I think Cisse would actually be a better fit than HD. Sure HD is a great basketball player, he can put the ball in the hoop and grab a lot of boards but he’s not an elite defender.

As the roster is currently constructed if Judah comes back this is going to be a very backcourt dominated team where 3 of our guards can really score. Judah, JJ and Chance when healthy are all bucket getters. You throw in Bell, Benny, Brown, Taylor…we have guys that can put the ball in the basket.

Now if you add Cisse, sure he’s not a great scorer, he’ll get ya about 8 a game. But if you have a team with enough bucket getters already, you add an elite defensive center that can grab you 8-10 boards game, then watch out. That’s just a part of the game that HD can’t add no matter how good he is. And to be completely honest Cisse would fit great in the fact that Judah, JJ, and Chance can all beat their man off the dribble setting up plenty of lob opportunities for Cisse. We need a defensive anchor on defense and he is that. Get Cisse and we are in business.

Wouldn’t hate a starting lineup of

Mintz
Starling 
Westry 
Benny 
Cisse

Rotation:
Bell
Brown 
Taylor 
Copeland 
Hima

Carey 
Patterson

That’s a pretty good team. Honestly a top 15 most likely and a top 4 team in the ACC, in my opinion
