Consider that the recent Final-4 team had a true frosh Lydon at 205lbs at C, Roberson at PF, and a true frosh in Richardson at SF.  Richardson was only 6ft 6in, undersized for his role at the back of a zone, and not projected as much of a defender.  Roberson even as a junior was thin, though very active as a defender.  Lydon was frequently overpowered inside. The offsetting strength was having experience and size at the top of the zone in Cooney & Gbinije.

Sure, Thompson has to figure things out, but he is 6ft 10 in and will be stronger inside this time around.   Not sure how to project Brissett & Moyer as defenders but Moyer has decent size -- comparing to Roberson, for example.  Sidibe seems to have good instincts and size, though we don't know how he will compete against college centers.  Bottom line -- seems way too early to project how this bunch will compare to the 2015-16 inside defense that was good enough to give us a March run.
