ok fair enough. i really hope the staff is trying very hard to recruit over mcleod bc he was there for a lot of the blowouts this year and I dont see him magically becoming the answer.

matchup dependent he may be servicable...but my personal opinion is that a lot of what he does is fools gold - looks good in a box score but doesnt help win. besides, they arent only going to play him vs his good matchups if hes in the rotation, tehy will play him also when its a bad matchup for him...which is the problem.

i dont care what his defensvie metrics and ratings are...i watched him with my own eyes. I dont need the crutch of a number to help me understand things. The defense was not good with mcleod in the game bc for every block he got he gave up two easy shots. and he was probably the slowest basketball player I have ever seen and thus could not rotate within a team concept. any center that can shoot from more than 5 feet away will toy with that.

if hes cool with being the 3rd center - that would be great ... but if he is a player the team will have to rely on...i will be very skeptical.
