Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 1389888"] Coleman can score down low. I don't expect him to get us 17ppg like Rak did, but Coleman can score. If he stays healthy, our balance will be okay. I agree the defense will take a hit down low. However, we should have a capable backup Center this season in either Obokoh or Diagne. Rak had to essentially play zero defense at times last season and just give up easy layup because he couldn't risk fouling. This year, Coleman shouldn't have that worry. Coleman is also built for pushing guys out of the paint. Rak couldn't really do that. Outside of that, we're returing 4 starters who should be plenty versed in the zone to be formidable. The zone is a little smaller than usual, but 'smaller than usual' for us is still bigger/longer than 90% of teams we'll play. [/QUOTE]
