There is no question that having a good center benefits a basketball team but I think where we differ is that building a roster through the transfer portal and making the center the “big fish” leads to an overall weaker roster, especially in today’s game.

If you need evidence of this, look at Syracuse’s roster from last year. Eddie Lampkin was where we allocated the majority of our NIL funds and he wasn’t a difference maker despite being a good player. We’ll see how this year plays out but Nait George, on paper, seems like a difference maker with the potential to make every single player better than if George wasn’t on the roster.

I’m sure we can agree that we both want Syracuse to be really good next year and I feel like the staff has constructed a roster that will be far superior to the one we had last year, mainly because of they’ve addressed the various roles that comprise a great team and have gotten guys that will willingly fill them, even if they don’t average 10ppg. (Side Note: Maybe William Kyle will average 10ppg and Kline sees the potential based on the skill set and not just based on previous production)
