Thats crazy Pru, I could have sworn I read he was a 4 and would replace Ben.

I've been very vocal about adding a couple more pieces. It's been hinted at that we will be getting another guy. I'm sure Brad will find the pieces to fill out the roster. He's got every core piece back. I'm sure he can find a couple of guys to fill out for injury/depth.
I absolutely think Morello is going to be a stud. Whether it is back up point or off ball, he will flourish. I look for him to go off in one of our first 10 games.
Morillo is a PG, just want people to know that. He is also 6'7".
Nice to see another piece about Vaaks, but the question remains whether he has actually signed with the Beloved or not?
This kid's offensive profile is phenomenal. You can see how much attention he was getting from defenses at providence. Constant help being run at him when he had the ball. He is going to find so much more space in our offense.
LOL. I'm sure Scottie Pippen also considered himself a PG to a large degree. Didn't mean he didn't find himself guarding Karl Malone sometimes...
Morillo can be our Swiss army knife, which he should embrace because its going to mean more minutes. I don't think they will try to turn him into a 4, by any means, but minutes are going to be hard earned. Take them where you can get them.
Ideally, a guy like Zens or L.Davis can give us something there. (Landon is going to need a nickname, stat...We already have a DAVIS)
Once practice starts, that 4th star won't mean much if the other freshmen are giving him buckets.
Hopefully, he's making plans to get here in June too. I wouldn't let those 3 star guys get much of a head start.
Brad doesn't care about stars.
Such a funny scene
The question with Morillo isn't whether he is a traditional 4/PF. He isn't, but that is also completely irrelevant. BH wasn't either btw.
Thw question is whether he can competently guard the opponent's 4 or equivalent from time to time to spell Mirk without putting us at a huge disadvantage. I would guess the answer is not an absolute in either direction but is going to be matchup and situation dependent.
Mirk is going to play a lot of minutes. The backup minutes at that position will be under 10 mpg (maybe half that) and I imagine a portion of those will be double Ivisic lineups. When people say Morillo might get time at the 4, they're not talking about a lot of time.

I doubt Morillo will cover opposing team 4s much if at all.
Could see a 4/5 rotation of 3 bigs. Minute splits like:
33 Mirk
27 Tomi

I cannot comprehend the Duke love. They have lots of 5 stars but I was not impressed with anyone other than Boozer, who is now gone. I think they are overrated.
