That's good news. Does anyone think its possible to play him at the 4 and DeAndre at the 3 when the guards need rest?

I think when the guards need a rest, it will be Kromah and Giffey playing the 3.

I'm really liking this. Leon gets some good experience and confidence playing overseas. I had forgotten those random 3's he made throughout last season. It wasn't many, but they were fun when he hit them.

don't you think we need Daniels at the 4 for as long as he's ever on the floor? Our big man rotation has very little flexibility. there could be a scenerio where Facey isnt around and brimah isn't ready.

That would be huge if he could provide a 3pt threat from his few minutes off the bench . Instant offense for while he's out there. If the other team doesn't scout him appropriately and he's not getting attention near the 3 pt line, make 'em pay...

Also, is it just me or does Tolksdorf look a little more bulked up in that pic than I remember him being?

I'm not sure about more bulked up - you may be right - but it also looks like he's leaner too, which can only be considered a good thing. I'd forgotten he's only a sophomore this year. for some reason i thought he was closer to wolf's age... I think he's going to be a good one over the next 3 years, especially his jr and sr seasons...

He definitely looks more mature with some adult muscle tone. Less man-child than he was last year.

I thought he had a pretty sweet stroke. I hope KO gets him into the mix.
