Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2527989, member: 40"] Disagree. This is a kid with a quality skill set. Not all bigs are skywalking pogo sticks. And while we might pursue a certain profile / archetype of player ideally, that doesn't mean that other types of players can't man a position effectively. Rick wasn't our typical big. Neither was Arinze or Otis Hill. Chukwu certainly is defensively, but the trade off is limited offensive capabilities [ditto BMK, Watkins, and Fab]. Agree 100% that Sidibe has more upside, and actually looks [when healthy] like an NBA caliber prospect. I also don't dispute that Sidibe is a better fit for the 5 in our system. BUT the lack of depth is glaring, and it would be nice to fill the roster with some four year players -- especially bigs who can put the ball in the basket. This is far from a desperation move. Majur Majok would have been a desperation move. [/QUOTE]
