Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 4553171, member: 6798"] Kirst is a smart and important addition this offseason. He has weaknesses. He has struggled to maintain a good shooting percentage while at Lehigh and there may be some frustration from us there, but with all our dodging losses this offseason we need a guy who can get a defensive rotation going. I have seen some promising Lehigh highlights in recent weeks. He is big even for a Kirst brother, but also has an underrated first step and burst for a guy his size. Has had success off the dodge against long poles and short sticks. If we were able to set picks to get him matched up against a smaller ssdm then he will almost definitely be able to force a slide and give the talented feeders and shooters we have something to work with. His shooting ability may be an issue, but he is not so bad there that a defense would just let him barrel through to the goal. Would be very surprised if he does not start. [/QUOTE]
