Since when does height have anything to to with rebounding?I have a really hard time seeing a frontline of 6'9, 6'9 and edwards/sidibe having a hard time on the boards...

We’ll be playing with fire again. Not unusual. 3 forwards. 3 guards. One injury at either position and there isn’t a backup. But if you’re okay with playing 3 small forwards, go for it. When folks here complain that we can’t rebound next season, don’t be surprised.
Insider info or gut feeling? Pretty definitive take, & im not saying you’re wrong.Yes.

You don't think going 6-9 at both wings with a true center is an improvement over 6-10 200, 6-7, 6-5?

Not so small. 7 ft and two 6'8 guys.. We will not be small and we will rebound okay. Might as well call off the season. If we have an injury...if anyone has an injury to one of their top 3 forwards or guards, they are going to have problems. Everything on this board is about our short comings. The teams we are going to be playing aren't the '76 Hoosiers. Everyone has issues.We’ll be playing with fire again. Not unusual. 3 forwards. 3 guards.

Own us. Why show up? We have a 7 ft center and possible Sidibe. Our forwards aren't small.Honestly, I don’t expect much from any of the 3 forwards in terms of rebounding. They all have small forward skills, Benny is still rail thin and plays on the perimeter. Swider and Jimmy are also perimeter players. Quincy was 6-7, but he played inside and was a banger. We’ll be okay against smaller teams, but bigger, physical teams will own us inside.

We still don’t have any beef. That’s the issue.since having money makes it easier to get women, i'd say
I said nothing about not showing up. Edwards and Sidibe both lack strength. Physical centers will push them around.Own us. Why show up? We have a 7 ft center and possible Sidibe. Our forwards aren't small.
Benny is not rail thin.
And Junior isn’t a perimeter player.Benny is not rail thin.
Like who?I said nothing about not showing up. Edwards and Sidibe both lack strength. Physical centers will push them around.
No more than last year i would think. Marek and Griff on the back line wasn’t exactly McHale and Parrish for rebounding. Theoretically, it should be better but we shall see.I said nothing about not showing up. Edwards and Sidibe both lack strength. Physical centers will push them around.
yeah, because Edwards isn't spending his summer here to work on his strength and his low post moves.I said nothing about not showing up. Edwards and Sidibe both lack strength. Physical centers will push them around.
Look, I’m not saying we’ll be bad or even mediocre. But inside play and rebounding will be an issue. And I don’t expect every forward to look like a tight end, but it would be nice to have one.That picture doesn't make your point. What do you expect every forward to run 6-9 230 and look like a they are 30 and in the league? He is up to 215 last update. Sure he will want to get stronger but plenty of kids do just fine around his size. Rail thin was Hakim, Marek, Damone etc.
Exactly. It wasn’t a good rebounding team.No more than last year i would think. Marek and Griff on the back line wasn’t exactly McHale and Parrish for rebounding. It should theoretically be tree but we shall see.
We got a chance with Kaluma dash?yeah, because Edwards isn't spending his summer here to work on his strength and his low post moves.
I’m aware. He can take some pointers from Marek.yeah, because Edwards isn't spending his summer here to work on his strength and his low post moves.

Well, that isn't how we roll, is it? And Jimmy and Cole look pretty solid to me. No one is going to nickname them tank but they will do fine. There are things to be concerned about. There are also a lot of positives No one wants to look at those when we look forward to next year. I wonder why?Look, I’m not saying we’ll be bad or even mediocre.

eh, doubtful.We got a chance with Kaluma dash?
