Cole, Jimmy and Benny all do some things the exiting forwards don't. What is lacked in foot speed is replaced in having legit size, 3 level scoring and physicality. With Benny you have a guy more athletic than anyone from last year or this year.

Both Cole and Jimmy are capable post scorers if not their primary game.

Cole and Jimmy lack some of the lateral athleticism of guys like Bras and QG ( assuming he leaves) and some of the footspeed. They are decent athletes otherwise and can get up and down the court and finish above the rim just fine.

Both guys can attack a closeout with the dribble. Jimmy is probably the most skilled at this but Cole isn't a slouch. Cole has as quick if not quicker release than Buddy and gets set extremely quickly. Both set good screens with high IQ.

Not equating this to wins or losses but these are valuable assets and just add the hard working aspect here. Benny is also an extremely hard worker and of course elite talent. I so want QG back because it's a really good forward rotation probably the best in the ACC or in the argument.

If someone is down on our forwards I think it's just the disposition you choose to carry more than it being logical.
