Interesting post. OB certainly has the ceiling to shoot it better and take a bigger offensive role. Right now, he's taking just under 13 shots per game, and Frank is taking about 13.5 shots per game. I'd like to see that move in the opposite direction. [Add: I like Dolezaj in the middle, not OB, because of his length and the fact that it doesn’t impact our offense significantly].

Another big factor as we get into conference play is keeping our centers involved in the offense. In earlier games, Chukwu/Sidibe averaged about 10/10. Production hasn't been as good against better teams and it disappeared against GT/Govan. Right now, Sidibe's hurt, and when he bounces back I'd love to see him work on his LP game. Chukwu also needs to see the ball better so that he can catch it and do something with it. We're going to need that balance and it's not going to be easy against beefy ACC teams. They're all going to pack it in with their bigs and force us to rely on jump shots. Getting the ball inside is critical ... even if we don't make the shots right away. That will spread the floor better, draw fouls and maybe it’ll be the opposing bigs who walk off early.
