I wouldn't even call it a bloop single.  More of a ground ball to second that advances the runner.

Even the projections that are being floated ITT are way too optimistic.  This is a guy who played 25 minutes a game in the Ivy League, didn't show much against the power teams he faced, and makes Brimah look like Kevin Durant offensively.

If we're counting on him too play more than 15 minutes a game, we're in trouble, and in all likelihood he'll inherit the Olander role circa 2011 of getting a few token minutes to start each half.  If he averaged 5 and 7 in the Ivy League, there's no reason to think he'll exceed or even match that production moving up a level.

But he does provide a service in shot blocking that we were sourly missing, and between Carlton, Cobb, Whaley, Diarra, there is something to be said for the amount of bodies we have amassed.  How many other teams can say they go four or five deep in bigs without much of a drop-off?  We have a bunch of guys who were apparently good enough to play D-1 ball, which was more than we could say last year.
