If we start Buddy, Joe, Q, Marek and Sidibe, that's not a top 4 ACC team, even with the extra experience.  We need somebody good enough to win a starting role and add something dynamic to this offense.  We need athleticism.  I have binged watched a lot of SU sports lately, and I marvel at how athletic our front courts used to be - even after the "legendary" teams.  We had size, we were quick, we rebounded much better as a team than we remember.  We ran the break like few teams in college.  We were Showtime for about a decade.  And we returned to that a little over a decade ago, from Jonny Flynn until Dion, or maybe MCW left.

But "poof", it was gone, and suddenly we were Pittsburgh under Jamie Dixon, grinding out 50 point games.  And now we lack athleticism that we need to run a balanced offense.  We haven't had a balanced offense in a long time, where we had 2 or 3 outside shooters, a couple guys who can drive and get to the rim, and a big man who can at least score on put backs and the occasional basket from the low post "and one".
