Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4397893, member: 12088"] Who would play center? We already know this: Kardoso and Amihere, and their rebounding advantage would evaporate. And they weren't ever a scoring dynamo, which says to me a 70pt/game team with terrific rebounding would become a 65pt/game team with average rebounding. They don't have the perimeter shooters to make up the difference. That says to me they'd rank somewhere below 10. I don't mean to diminish them, but merely to point out how amazing Boston really is. Do a similar thought experiment with Iowa minus Clark. Where would they be? Maybe not even in the top 25. Or Stanford without Jones. Could Belibi and Brink carry them to the Elite 8? Teams like ND or Louisville seem best able to weather a loss of a primary player -- Miles or Van Lith for example -- and still contend. [/QUOTE]
