Lampkin played 28 minutes per game last year, after playing 22 each of the previous years at TCU.

McLeod averaged 15 mpg before his injury, and that was the most he's played.

That said, they will likely take up all the meaningful center minutes if healthy.

Patterson will be our emergency/garbage time center.

But our scholarship forwards right now are Freeman, Bell and Westry. We need somebody who can be 4th string center and backup power forward.  We don't want Bell trying to guard [S]anybody[/S] ACC power forwards if we have any  choice.

Assuming no more defections at this late a date, replacing Mintz and getting a forward who can play but doesn't mind being down in the rotation are our goals.

I like the idea of a really good lower division guy who has a single elite talent like rebounding or on ball defense that can help us in limited minutes.

Or a really raw young transfer who has huge potential but little in the way of current basketball skills.

Lampkin/McLeod
Freeman/ Transfer
Bell/Westry
Starling/Moore
Transfer/Cuffe

Depending on the quality of the transfer guard coming in, I think we can be ok if that's our two deep. Maybe even really good.  I'm getting more excited about Freeman after hearing how well he did at the McDonald's shenanigans.
