Dean Reiber Video

I saw that sideline three against msu looked like and had Chris remley flashback.
I hope he is able to put on 20lbs of muscle. He needs it badly to become a better player.
May not matter if he is 4, 5, 3 or whatever. Pikiell is following the current trend of "positionless" in basketball. The Golden State Warriors have played most of the season with just one 5 and sometimes have their 2 play the five, though a majority of the time it is their four playing the 5 when the 5 is sitting.
It matters bc if he plays the 4 we have no backup 5. That's why he is likely the backup 5... unless we land another 5 who is better in the portal
That was my point. Warriors have no backup 5. They slide 3s and 4s to temp play there. Rutgers will have Reiber and Mag and possibly McConnell if he returns in that way.
Just because he slides to the 5 for the 10 or so minutes that Cliff sits does not mean he also can’t play 10 minutes with Cliff on the floor. Unless Mag or Hyatt really improve on offense, he’s the best offensive choice so at minimum you’d expect to see a small amount of offense / defense switch stuff. Can he defend a 4? That’s the question.
It's possible he gets some minutes at the 4 but he doesn't fit the mold of what Pike has played at the 4 for years and years here. The questions of Dean guarding the 4 are a real concern.
If he gets some minutes at the 4, we might see zone D
I really do believe Mag and Hyatt will both be improved offensively
For sure. My point was if he doesn’t see time at the 4, it’s not because of the 10ish mpg we will need him to back Cliff up at the 5.
