Point of order looking at the now updated first page, Jason Jakstys announced he was coming back, didn't he?

this is good and all but we need 1-2 alphas on the wing.

He’s so handsome!
still need a proven scorer in the portal on the perimeter.
Do we use the twins in a high low game or will we use them in a pick and roll?
He's an upgrade from Morez.
I think they go after a high end 4
Excited to see what Fletcher can do with Big Z.

I, for one, am excited to see how this plays out. Matchups will play a role, how will offensive/defensive schemes be adjusted, and who else is on the floor with them. Can’t remember a time when we have had 2 seven footers like this at the same time.

Maybe in a limited fashion. Could have issues defending.
Dont see them playing together too often. However, when they do, lol good luck to the opposing defense.
In all seriousness, really happy. Both can shoot and we now have some rim protection, something we really need.ChiefGritty

There's kinda three possibilities
1. They work well together, and might very well then both start and finish games together, in which case our needs around them look quite different
2. We can get away with them together in certain situations, but will mostly look to stagger them, which essentially means one of the two of them at the 5 at all times
3. The two of them together is just a total non-starter defensively, which as a simple matter of arithmetic means that there will be less playing time for one or both of them
I know nothing. But I think WR comes back
One for each, I guess!
