Smart and Luther get 1.0-1.5 blocks per 40.  That's enough to have an impact at the rim.  Finke gets 0.4.  You have a point that Luther might not want to come here, but I assumed he's transferring mostly because of the issues at Pitt, not necessarily playing time.  He could certainly take a lot of minutes from Marek.  With 80 minutes at Forward, Marek could see 20, Oshae 30, and Luther 30, or something like that.

Finke is going to want a large role.  Since he doesn't look like he could play Forward well in our zone (highlights vids of his are hard to find and mostly just him shooting spot-up 3's), Center is the only spot he could see minutes.  Chukwu and Sid should both get double digit minutes, at least, per game and both look like considerably better defenders than Finke... when healthy.  Would Finke want to transfer here for 15 mpg, if that?  The fact that his role at Illinois basically didn't improve at all, in terms of playing time, in 3 years there is concerning.
