On the other hand, Sadiq White was on the roster at 6'9 195lb last season, actually lighter than MMM.

Maliq Brown, 6'8 213
Benny Williams 6'8 215
Jesse Edwards played at 215
Dolezaj at 201
Lydon 6'8 205
Roberson 6'8 212
CJ Fair 6'8 215
Jerami Grant 6'8 210
Wes Johnson 6'7 205
Kris Joseph 6'7 210

All of the above players are notable for being right around Mahmutovič's size.  Some are way taller but about his weight, some are right where you would expect MMM to play next season.

MMM is young, and likely will fill out by a few pounds of muscle once reaching campus.  Why couldn't he play a little small ball forward alongside Tobiason and Doty.  It is starting to look like they might be our three best players, it would be a shame to put (unknown reserve transfer forward) out there instead of one of our best players.

I would at least give Mahmutovič as shot at guarding bigger forwards to reduce his problems from his major defensive weakness, lateral quickness.

Of course, all my conjecture comes from a report suggesting he is now measuring 201cm, which is a true 6'7.  If he is already 205lb and can add a few good pounds before the season starts, he is kind of prototype combo forward size, and a number of matchups should favor him against big forwards.
