Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 5001479, member: 6979"] you wanna bet on players that have never shown they are good enough - have never shown much potential - to all of a sudden become good? isnt easier to simply go find upper classmen in the portal who have actually put numbers on the board before? thats my preference. none of the current options is going to become a beast scorer down low. at least thats the way it looks... the team needs someone who can score in the POST if Patterson all of a sudden is great next season - it is going be super annoying - because that would mean he was likely an option this year too. (but im not holding my breath on that) did you watch the clemson game? did you watch hall brutalize brown and schefflien brutalize taylor and copeland? brown is a good player but a tweener...he cannot matchup against elite centers/even PFs...he can dominate weak players but that isnt really the bar, is it? a forntcourt of bell brown and freeman would not be near good enough defensively. it would get brutalized the same way this years team did. if red wants that - he will have another disappointing season on his hands. im surprised you would have watched this season and have such an opinion. watching half a season of mcleod was enough to convince me that he wont ever get to the level necessary to be the clear starter and presence necessary.. hed be a great (maybe 2nd)/3rd string center, though...for the right matchups. IF you wanna win the ACC etc go to the tourney etc...you need scoring in the post. you need a team that can shut down teams scoring down low. my frontline for next year would be portal C - brown and freeman bell can play shooting guard too btw thats basically what he is...hes never been a forward anyway bell brown freeman do not make a very good core frontcourt bc brown will always be undersized against any big frontcourt - and almost all good teams have big frontcourts...theres a correlation freeman could be amazing next year - but benny was a 5 star too big assumption that any freshman will come and automatically be a star player from day 1.
