So we have two backup centers from the portal. Where’s the starter?
Kyle clearly isn’t the backup at this juncture. Based on the interest he got last off season and then the injury that set him back he was expected to be a key piece out of the portal. It’s clear the role of the 5 now is more in line with how we used it in the past which Kyle fits that mold.
Maybe it doesn’t work but so far going with having a traditional 5 and then just size there hasn’t done much. Kyle is more in the mold of a more athletic rim protecting Maliq. With more around him in the frontcourt than Maliq had things should be much improved (in theory/on paper).
