Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 5097557, member: 974"] The only real question for this team showed up in the first half of the exhibition. Hurley decided to take a space eater (Reed) instead of a true 7-footer. Was that a wise choice? Was sacrificing length for beef a good move? Hurley tends to make very good decisions on personnel. But he is limited somewhat in his recruiting because he wants a certain type of individual. Perhaps there were no 7-footers who met his criteria. Maybe he thought Reed was the best available. Maybe he doesn't value a 7-footer at center as a critical need. Don't know. May never know what led to that recruiting decision. At any rate, watching URI collect offensive rebound rebound after offensive rebound was frustrating at best. It got better in the second half. Besides, it was an exhibition, it comes to nothing. It means nothing. But the question from before the game lingers after the game. Was sacrificing length for beef a good move? [/QUOTE]
