No BigZ for Ark??? Did he fall out of the rotation.? A hint he is looking around for next year

It's not a big secret ... I put it on here a while ago that Big Z likes the idea of playing with Tomi ...

Different sport. It’s like negging on MLS soccer because it’s not as good as Europe.

Which some soccer snobs definitely do.
It's not just the snobs who say that, but to the broader point, if someone says on an Illini message board to tune in and support the Illini soccer team in the NCAA playoffs, and someone starts slamming them because NCAA (or MLS) soccer isn't international play or premier league, that is indeed a what are you even doing just say nothing moment.

PS: I have nothing against people who like MLS soccer, I just personally could never get into it primarily due to the quality of the passing

That would be a beyond insane frontcourt. But would Big Z, Tomi, and Morez all be willing to share minutes? Or maybe move Morez to the 4 with each getting around 25-30min?

That's the question at this point is what role does Big Z want ... 3 big guys will get minutes ... There's enough to go around ... But there isn't enough starter type minutes to go around ...

id rather have morez then big z. but since morez doesnt shoot 3s is he valued as highly by this staff?

If Big Z has no problem coming off the bench especially if it is for Tomi backing him up cause he gets to play with Tomi again then that is gold for us. Morez at the 4 and Tomi at the 5 with Z coming off the bench for mostly Tomi and some for Morez whenever Morez gets in foul trouble is what I imagine. Plus With Big Z coming in to give Tomi a breather it wouldn't change our offensive scheme cause we will still have a 7 foot big on the court that can shoot the 3 and space the floor for us. That is crazy good if you think about it.

I’d prefer an athletic 4 who can rebound, defend and shoot decently from the outside, ala Quincey Guerrier. But I’m not the GM.
