I'm all in on kegler, he would fit so smoothly with a developed enoch+ adams. and who knows about this bruce brown situation, tyrique jones. the future is bright, the boneyard is in a deep deep depression ha.

Given how similar Kegler is to Larrier, I just can't imagine he'd want to come in and compete with him.

I'd love to get Gabriel but who is our center if Brimah goes pro? I think a center should be a priority and I'm not hearing us linked to a lot of them. Although we should be loaded at PF with Diarra, Facey, Enoch and even 3's like Larry and dham that can play that spot. Maybe some of these guys grow and play the 5

I think with the size of our PF's we could play multiple bigs to make up for not having a "true" center if it works out that way.

I would like a center too. Wouldn't Gabriel overcrowd us with 4 PFs?

I think that Diarra likely ends up playing mostly C for us. He's got the reach and the physicality for it. He needs to put on a little weight, but height-wise he's basically the same size as Okafor.

Agree and he has the frame to be rather large and strong if he wants to be and works at it. He may be only 6-7 or 6'8 but he is long and could be a nice space-eater, seems really tough too.

I think there's a much better chance of Enoch playing center. He's 2 inches taller and has a longer reach.
 
I agree we could get along covering the 5 position with multiple bigs if Brimah leaves, but I think he will stay to get stronger. I would also say that our market for 5's is better in 2017 than 2016 which looks like a weak crop at the 5 from the guys I have seen. A 4 like Gabriel is a different dimension than our other 4/s. Enoch and Facey are passive bigs that play in the flow, they can shoot but don't often. Diarra seems to be an energy big that scores as a result of relentlessness and rebounding and brings a more aggressive tougher attitude. Gabriel is a big that looks to score and be important to the offense, he has good size, can shoot, and seems like a perfect compliment to the others. I would agree that we don't need a 4 with limited versatility, but I think he is value added.

Have you watched their games at all? Diarra is post player on offense and defense. Enoch plays face-up a lot of the time.

We could use a skinny 7'2" shotblocker to add some diversity in the post. But basically, we should be in good shape in the post, especially if we got Wenyen Gabriel. You need 5 big men or maybe 6 if you have a combo forward or two like Larrier (or Deandre Daniels, or Daniel Hamilton). With Gabriel we'll have the right number (Facey, Enoch, Diarra, Gabriel; Larrier as a combo; Brimah if he comes back would make 6) and they'll all be quality, versatile players.

Not looking to get in a pre school BY fight but Enoch is much taller, longer and more fit for the 5 position. It's pretty obvious to anyone that's watched basketball for more than 20 minutes. Diarra will likely never play the 5 unless sparingly, but Enoch will play a lot there.

Diarra has a 5's game in a 4's body and Enoch is the opposite. Chukwu is plan A at center for this class.

I'm not convinced that Chukwu would be a starter. He has a long way to go. I see Enoch more as a 4 with decent shooting range.

what are you talking about now a days there is no four or five its just bigs in general and if we're talking about the big that's going to be in the post more it's clearly going to be Diarra

But what about his short neck? Do we really want a short-necked guy playing the 5 for us?
