To me this is the big key -- not simply the centers but simply development. There is a ton of talk on here about recruiting and I get it because, if we're being honest, we certainly aren't closing our top targets with any sort of regularity. The recruiting has been underwhelming at best and disastrous at worst.

Having said that, I don't really know that I dislike the players. I think JGIII can do some things at the point -- he's in a spot where he is adjusting to a huge leap in competition and physicality. I think he'll adjust. Goodine could be a really solid 2-way player. Guerrier needs to channel his athleticism so that it compliments his skill, not obscures it. Edwards has potential. There is offensive skill but he needs to get stronger (i know, I know) and get comfortable with the physicality. Buddy is a solid piece I just think we're seeing roughly the extent of what he's going to offer. He'll be much better if we can create looks for him instead of looking to him to get his own looks and play 35 mpg. Not sure that changes but we can hope. Woody and Bras are a bit raw but certainly bring length and athleticism to the zone. Bras can rebound which, if he can get himself on the floor, could be a positive development. JBA? Not sure but he could be intriguing.

At the end of the day, I don't know. Would have certainly been nice to add Andre Jackson to this mix b/c he adds explosiveness and athleticism, but I'm not really certain we'll be terrible with this core.
