BB: what do we need for the last spot?

[VC99]

We need a big strong hunk of a man.

Hope Moreno is doing plenty of conditioning. He's probably going to get close to 40 minutes a game.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Player/coach would be a good start.

 

[ScWildcat3]

Kohler is the only answer

 

[UKCowboys]

A good player. Kohler, Mitchell or Tyson, any of those kids make us a more dangerous team

 

[BanManAndy]

Kohler is the only answer

Going into the season with only Moreno and Potter yea id say so. I'm not counting Frank. If he's so fragile he can't even practice with the team the entire time then I'm not going to expect him to be available much

I think we will miss Brandon Garrison if we don't get Kohler. If Malachi gets injured then we are NIT at best.

LMAO

LMAO

I think it’s a pretty honest take. Do you trust Reece Potter to play 30+ minutes a night and be our main center?

Do you really think Potter would play 30 minutes a night LMAO? Kepnang and N'Diaye would play the majority of the time at 5 or McBribe with Milan at the 4. We would get killed inside buy would be a tough cover for a lot of teams playing small ball. But you are using a hypothetical that can be used against most any team, "suppose their best player gets hurt"....they won't be as good, well, duh

Garrison is absolute garbage. No motor or instinct.

 

[bnewt5]

Garrison wasn't any where close to the player I thought he would be. Major disappointment

 

[JimboBBN]

We need Mark Mitchell

You wait until we play Bama, you will see Garrisons motor, at high rev 12000 rpm

You're overestimating Frank's availability. He's got plenty of talent, but his health is a well-known issue.

My heart wasn't broke when Brandon Garrison transferred. However, he would have been a more reliable backup than Frank or Reece Potter.

N'Diaye is 7'0 and 210 soaking wet. I don't see him playing the 5.

I can give you the same scenario though for almost every team in the top 25. Haugh gets hurt for Florida, can they run someone out there, yeah, will they be as good, Hell no. Duke loses Blackwell, Illinois loses Vaaks, Texas loses Vokietaitis, UConn loses Mullins...it doesn't matter how good or deep you are, if you loses your most irreplaceable guy, you are going to have trouble, because you were counting on 30+ minutes from that starter and only a few minutes per half from his backup

Everyone only looks at what teams have and expect them to never have setbacks. Usually the teams standing at end of year had lot of luck with health

Moreno is a mandatory piece though. UK is extremely thin in the frontcourt. That 4 spot and backup 5 are probably the biggest weaknesses on this team. This roster was built revolving around the assumption that Malachi would never get hurt. Without him they will get absolutely killed on the glass. If we're being honest, rebounding will already be an issue with this group.

[TigerMoving]

Mark Mitchell is the answer
