New thought. Should we be targeting a natural center, or would be be better off to focus on a more versatile power forward bruiser.
I’ll throw WVU’s 2009-10 final four team out there as the proxy model for the latter thought. I know that team isn’t comparable from an experience perspective (several veteran returning players on it). They started Wellington Smith - stocky 6-7 kid at center. I think our backcourt can be better than that team’s. Truck Bryant was a frosh running the point. Butler was good, but I think the J Williams / Dylan Harper combo can be better. Ace seems like a similar style player to their Ebanks kid. I understand Kevin Jones came through for them to complement Smith, but it’s not like he entered the season as an impact player. Thoughts?
