Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 3227914, member: 6696"] I have always been iffy on Springs. Mostly the lack of any shooting and his athleticism. Gotta trust the staff if they feel they can turn him into a player. Seems to me he will be the 3rd option at C for us next year after Carlton and Whaley, or the 4 after Polley/Akok. His athleticism--especially strength--will be a hindrance at the d1 level. He is much like Carlton coming in athletically. He isn't a high flyer or strong at all. Even his athletic-looking plays are timing more than anything. He has 0 back to the basket game. His points come off of putbacks and 15-18 ft drives. He has a GREAT eye for the ball and seems to finish anywhere under the basket if he can gather. Different look at the 4 if we need more of a traditional 4. And will be a good backup after Carlton/Whaley at the 5. [/QUOTE]
