1. i dont want the team to allocate a majority of funds on center at the expense of the other positions, especially pg. i dont think it is easy to get both great pg and center...but i also even more strongly dont think it is either/or...as is being argued by many at the moment...

missing for 3 straight years on the "project" centers on the roster...comes home to roost eventually...theres many ways to build a roster, even in the portal era. so i dont buy the narrative that the portal determines everything about roster building.

2. lampkin's uasge was criminally low. part of that was not having a legit pg. part of that was scheme and playcalling. eddie wouldve averaged close to 20 if i was the coach...he was very rarely stopped by opposing centers...it was simply a matter of low volume and the team barely being able to get him the ball!  on that note, im worried that autry wont know how to use a deep roster and will try to spread volume evenly to be "fair" while failing to take advantage of mismatches and areas to exploit. we have seen that already in both of reds seasons, imo

3. like i said, i agree this roster is better than reds first 2...but a fast horse needs a good jockey...so we have to see what happens on the court regardless of talent level. talent matters. a lot. but if the coach doesnt use it properly, a team can still fail when it shouldnt
