Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 5597382, member: 6979"] look, i'd rather just let this convo go, dont wanna give this fire any more air tbh...but i feel kinda compelled to respond since you are being so vociferous in your incredulousness at my position...JB agrees with me and said that height at the center position is an issue FYI i think you guys are clouding things up based on the games against the cupcakes...same way a lot of people thougt kiyan should start over jj after the first couple games kansas outrebounded SU 49-29 tenn center had his career high in like 20 minutes of play iowa states frontcourt ripped this team a new one the fricking monmouth center had 18 points and 5 reb in 25 mins (donnie played that game too btw...this has nothing to do with him) im not saying the frontcourt is so bad that the team cannot win games...im just saying it is not a strength and could be a lot better, esp in the 2nd and 3rd string positions. i think kyle has very key weaknesses in his game to go along with some strong strengths...but in balance, a smart team will successfully exploit those weaknesses...and it is something to gameplan and prepare for. all along i wanted the roster to be built with the center position differently and still do not think that kyle alone is a good enough center corps. the other 2 centers are not balancing out him very well imo...theyre basically non factors...adn they dont complement his weaknesses at all my ideal would have been kyle playing about 20 minutes a game and a more well rounded center playing 20 minutes a game (a guy who can shoot fts, and score on postups - likely a tall player ...maybe a 7 footer who can shoot)...and then playing the hot hand depending on circumstance I AM VERY HAPPY THAT KYLE IS ON THE SU BASKTBALL TEAM my issue is more with the entire roster construction and basically only having kyle as the entire center corps [/QUOTE]
