[QUOTE="LouRocks, post: 1546212, member: 747341"] While Ayo, Frazier, Miller, DMW, and Kofi will likely be the starters to begin the season. Against top 20 teams DMW will have an issue against good 4s with size. Two years ago that was a huge issue but Kofi helped out last year a ton assisting behind DMW when he was undersized. I hope someone can step into that role at the 4 against top tier teams so Kofi wint be out of position to rebound or defend his man like he was when helping out an undersized DMW land others attempting to guard good 4s ke It cost us wins a few times late in games last year. backs were he otherwise would have he would have grabbed the board or blocked out. Coming into last year there was a reason we wanted a 4 and a 5 so badly. We still need someone to actually step up and have the size and strength to play that slot vs top tier teams. DMW gets so much out of his 6'3" frame and long arms but he is still very dependent on Kofi were hopefully BBV or Gandison or someone else taller or bigger stronger that would need less help 4 that is an outside threat would be great. Hopefully someone will step into that role this year. [/QUOTE]
