Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 247094, member: 57"] Grant won't shirt as things stand now. I think he may well have the best skillset to replace KJO though is more of a 4 than a 3 as compared to KJo.. Fair's game doesn't start at the perimeter, and Dirty can't slash. Grant will obviously need time, but he may well end up being similiar to KJo two years down the road. Grant is probably the closest to a "pure" 4 we will have on our roster. Fair & Dirty are hybrid 3-4s. DC2 & Rak are best case hybrid 4-5s though both may well be better suited for the 5 spot. probably the same w Noel if we get him. I do not see Rak getting token starts again at PF. Rak is still a big project at PF - his collegiate game is at the five spot where he will be ready to be a big factor by next season. I would see RAK starting at the five unless we get Noel. I am not sure about DC2. If he can play at the 4 then he can start there, but it is hard to envision him covering that much ground in our zone. If not maybe Dirty starts at the four. All in all we have quite a few square pegs in the frontcourt that may have to go into some round holes I hope Jimmy doesn't play his silly game of starting kids & giving them 2 minutes as we have seen the last two seasons. Start em for real or don't start em. So my depth chart with your assumptions would be (and no token starters): [COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia]G-MCW/Triche[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia]G-Triche/Cooney[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia]C -Toss-up between Rak & DC2 then BMK[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia] - CJ, Dirty[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia] - Dirty, Rak (or possibly DC2), Grant[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia]A dark horse position change for me, could be BMK at the four !!! - He brings zero in O skills to that position, but he sure would be able to cover the ground on the D end much better than Rak or DC2. If DC2 played well enough as a frosh at the five to bring a strong inside threat ala AO or Rick, then we could have the luxury of playing a strictly defensive player at the 4 spot in the Zone.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
