Re: Krutwig
First, I don’t understand where all this speculation is coming from. He’s the best player on a top 25ish team, close to home and has already played in a final four. Sure he could be looking for another challenge but it’s not obvious to me he’d be looking to transfer,
As far as fit, I do think he could help us some but not sure he fills a need. He’s a good passer out of the post so maybe we could run some more spread. Would probably fill sort of a Giorgi role and help us offensively.
But he’s not overly quick. He only averages 6.5 rebounds a game in the valley . I don’t see how he matches up favorably to a Williams or many other of the athletic bigs in the conference. I think he would struggle defensively.
With all of our backcourt talent, not sure we need offense from the 5. I would rather bring in someone who maybe is raw but can body up other bigs, can be a help defender, rebound, and catch lobs from Belo. A rich man’s Hamlin would be good enough, which is gettable I think.
Talented player but I think there are better fits, even assuming he’s interested in transferring.
