Yeah, it would eat up a lot of BMK's minutes, but i think that's just the way it's going to have to be, since the only way around that is to have either DC or Rak playing a lot at the 4, which probably wouldn't be a good thing. Ideally, either DC will come in in good enough shape to play the 4, or Rak will take a huge step forward next year at the 4, creating a lot of minutes for BMK as the primary backup at C.  But it seems far more likely that both DC and Rak will play really well at C AND both will struggle to play effective minutes at the 4. (I think DC given his size would struggle to defend out to the 3 pt line, and Rak looked very ineffective at the 4 offensively last year.) If that is the case, and if Grant is able to play effective minutes at the 3 next year, (which seems likely, especially given the way his older brother played at ND this past year really boding well), then the trio of Fair, Southerland and Grant should be able to handle most of the 80 minutes a game at the 3 and 4, leaving DC and Rak to split up the bulk of the 40 minutes at C, in which case BMK is the odd man out.  But at least that way we don't have to play anyone at positions where they're liabilities at. But of course if Grant isn't ready to play, then BMK's minutes would go back up, since it would force  Rak to play more at the 4 so Fair and Southerland can make up for Grant's minutes at the 3.
