I agree with most of what your saying. I don’t think Hima is as bad as you are thinking. That being said, I can tell you right now if Jesse leaves and we land Patterson, which I fully expect. No way in hell we are carrying more than Hima, Carey and Patterson as centers. So Hima would be the starter. We’ve seen it before all the time, even on some of our best Syracuse teams under Boeheim. Where the center is not an offensive threat but relied heavily on their defense, rebounding and picks on offfense.

Especially with what likely comes back next year in Judah, Taylor, Bell, Brown, possibly Adams coming in. And likely a grad transfer combo guard. We’ll have enough scoring power to rely on a defensive minded center.

Now do I agree would it be nice to go grab a transfer center in the portal that can get us 8-10 points and 7-10 boards a game and a solid defensive presence…yes. But we’ve this story time and time again where Boeheim does not hit the portal that hard and if we have bodies at the position on the team already, Boeheim would rather roll with those guys. And in this case he has 3 centers to choose from. Admittedly all 3 are very green but we know how he rolls
