What’s next immediate need? PF or Center

[FearThePups]

As things play out with Solo and Braylon I am shifting my question on what we need to finish roster construction. What do you guys thing about getting a power forward who can fill in at center or vis a versa or a dedicated power forward or center. And names come to mind?

 

[UC0NN]

If Solo and Braylon come back, they will cost a lot. Having spent good $ at the 4 and the 5, you essentially need backup 5 right now or a combo backup 4/5. Since Landrew has the strength, he can play 10+ minutes at the backup 4.

So the next needs are a backup 5, and an emergency 5. And either a backup PG or an emergency PG.

 

[TheHorde]

Backup C and backup PG

 

[boog204]

How about someone who can give you minutes at the 4 and 5? We don’t need a 7-0 monster. An athletic 6-9 dude would works Then, another playmaker who can handle and not pee himself under pressure.

Braylon Mullins

I would like a more athletic 4 who could play the 5 alsp and then a 5 that can give us 5 fouls and is tall. Lol!

Braylon Mullins

What i was going to say

 

[KemBuckets21]

I still think both bray and solo come back. I know they are somewhat redundant, but with even some modest shooting regression to the mean we could be looking at a lethal combo. If they improve significantly, watch out.

In terms of new players, backup G/ball handler, rotation big (4/5) and then some depth that won’t play much.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Mullins is priority #1, but after that, we need a backup pg who can play defense and a backup center who can play defense. Then some practice players.

 

[Hunt for 7]

I would like to have a real 4. Someone who is 6’9” can rebound and is big enough to play the 5. Then we could rotate the rest of the three positions and match up better regardless if our opponent is a big team or more of a wing oriented team kind if like we have been with AK.

Gives Hurley more options in game.

Sorry @3rdbass did not read your post b4 I posted. Clearly I agree with you.

 

[ec33]

I'm guessing the plan (should Mullins and Ball come back) is to get Landrew minutes through PT at the 4. Ball, Mullins, and Ross with some Demary tossed in will readily take up 80 minutes at the 2 and 3.

That leaves backup center.

 

[Lanphoon]

Don’t care if we call him a C or PF. Just want some BEEF up front.

Yup. I want one of those Huggins era monsters from Cincy.

 

[Khal Drogo]

Does Dan Ackroyd’s kid coach

 

[BLANCOHUSKY]

We need size and athleticism at PF if we want #7. NK is a small 4.

 

[TrueBlue22]

Yeah, so clearly the move is a veteran PG that’s willing to play limited minutes, and a veteran C that should be around 18 mpg.

As long as Solo is back we have the most stacked roster in the nation as of today.

 

[UC0NN]

Its all backups now, we are outta $$$ one would think.

Honestly I think for my wish list would be a backup center who can play 10 minutes a game, 1 dept big who wont play unless their are injuries/foul trouble, and a solid backup pg for 10 minutes a game. I think we are locked and loaded on starters and are super deep at the 2,3,4

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Man I don’t think people realize just how good Colben Landrew will be. He was a late bloomer in basketball but man he really should be a top 10 recruit. If Solo comes back we are stacked 1-3

 

[ConnMotors]

The team needs bodies. Tall ones; short ones; quick ones and ones that can rebound.

Agreed. Although I see Hines as more of a 24mpg guy this year based on Hurleys love for a two headed monster.

County has real potential as a ball handler, and with Mullins, Ball, Demary on the roster, we may be looking for a grad transfer PG for emergency situations.

 

[mikedog10]

Is it too late to retain Reibe, or have both parties moved on?

 

[FreeDogs]

Right now we need Solo and 2-3 more players

he gone

Solo's staying.

We need a vet PG, a vet C, and a pure PF imo.

 

[Nameless]

I would say a backup 5, since with Ross and Landrew we have 2 guys capable of backing up the forward spots. I'm not sure I would want either at the 4 for substantial minutes, but at least they can fill in if need be. We have absolutely no one to back up Hines as things currently stand

 

[Platt81]

I don’t think he wants to be the type of player Hurley wants him to be.

 

[TrueBlue22]

A lot of people looking for another 4, but here’s how it looks-

G Silas
G Solo
G Mullins
F Khamenia
C Hines

F Ross
F Landrew
C Transfer
G County
G Transfer

We don’t need a PF. This isn’t the NBA, Ross is that PF y’all are looking for.

Backup Center.
Supplemental PG.
Hail Mary internationals/emergency vets.

Natty.

 

[Gutter King]

The BM news is certainly going to make recruiting backup PG and C easier. Who wants to win a chip? We are now among the handful of favorites.

We need a player who can play the 4 or 5. That gives us the most options with the current roster. But something tells me we still have a few moves that are in the works. And it is like dominos they all end up impacting more than one player.
