Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 5323877, member: 1245"] I have been solidly in the camp of wanting a third true center. Now that we have a guy, I do agree it is most likely we will play small ball at center. It's a lot to ask to have a kid acclimate to a new culture, acclimate to academics, learn a sophisticated offense, and be game ready in 2 months to even justify getting any game experience against 'buy' game squads. Extra hard when so many other players also need to get their feet wet quickly in early games to build chemistry. Additionally, its clear he will need to build up his body which takes time. With that said, by late winter, he only needs to defensively be able to alter shots, and offensively be effective rolling to the rim, to justify a cameo appearance. I hope he develops because I love 7'1+ [/QUOTE]
