Hopefully my post below is now pointless based on the info known.  However,

The foul trouble on Grant would be the biggest thing.  Its not what would happen to Syracuse's defense (if anything, the Duke game should have proven this team can score and go up tempo if necessary), but now Grant would have to sit in foul trouble and the entire offense changes for prolonged periods of time.

Chinoso's value has always been as a back-up center (even his upside is that).  Is he ready to be a solid backup D1 center?  No.  However, he does have the ability to take 5 fouls that could end up on Grant if Grant is playing C.

Also, coaches can't all of a sudden get someone ready.  Whoever plays center is going to struggle with both foul trouble and rotations.  The only way coaches could get someone ready?  Someone who isn't getting as much attention in practice.  I guarantee the staff has been drilling Roberson on how to play the wing correctly b/c we want him in the rotation.  However, I bet Chinoso can get a lot more coaching b/c the staff anticipated him to redshirt and were likely bringing him along slowly.

Either way, if Keita can't go tomorrow, I think we can all agree we are facing the one team poised to take the most advantage of us having someone out of position at C.  We seriously couldn't have another ACC team without Keita?
