Based on his previous choices regarding roster construction, I think GMAC prefers bigger, heavier centers.  He went with two guys this past season much bigger (and less athletic) than our biggest guys this season.

I can't begin to guess who will be on our roster next season, but one thing I feel is highly likely: We will go away from the Alex Kline model of small, athletic bigs next season.

A couple portal guys from mid major conferences that are 7', 250 and proven defenders and rebounders would be my guess in the middle, with a JB style "offense comes from the guards and forwards" roster construction.

In fact, if GMAC follows the forwards oriented offensive schemes JB favored, Freeman is an absolute prototype of that type of offense.  Do it all forwards were a Syracuse specialty for nearly three decades.

Furthermore, Kingz looks like he could play the designated shooter slot... a lot like Trevor Cooney or Malachi Richardson (to pick two guys who played while GMAC was coaching the team).  Kingz needed to have more plays called to get him open threes in the worst way. I think GMAC could get him those shots.
