Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 1389415, member: 1423"] I like your enthusiasm. Jordoo seems to think Diagne's going to surprise, also. And that may be the case, but I doubt it will be at Center. If in fact he's 6'8, unless he's a pogo stick like Otis Hill, I don't see how we can expect a player that size to anchor the zone. In this day and age, the bigs we face in the ACC will have a 3-4 inch height advantage. That will pose problems at both ends, even if he's "long". More likely, Diagne will back up TR at the 4. And this is intriguing, since he seems to have an established mid-range, rather than a low block, game. Also, having him on the other side of the basket from DC would give us some badly-needed beef on the boards. Don't sleep on Lydon either. At 6'9 and mobile, he might also get some time behind MG .. another spot where we're thin. [/QUOTE]
