Bingo. I think he's too small, especially next to Harris. He'd have to take a decreased role here.

Doesn't matter, though, his list of suitors is huge and reportedly Kansas is not one of them.

Isn't Pack the same size as Remy Martin?

I think Dajuan can still have a big role doing what he's done.

but I also think any rotation including Dajuan has a much lower ceiling without some second option at ball handler who is also a threat to score. Ideally someone who can play alongside Dajuan, as well as play instead of Dajuan.

I don't even wanna think about this year's tournament without one.

Probably similar, but Remy is and was a point guard.

Pack played 33+ minutes at the off guard spot and jacked up 24 shots per 100 possessions, 14 being 3's.

I don't wanna think about that, either! didn't mean to discredit DH.

But the thing is, we don't have to replace the role of DH and his defense for likely the next 3 years.

what we do have to replace, is that smooth sipping cognac of a scoring pg to complement him.

And the latter is much harder to replace.

Same goes for 6'7" KJ who I think you'll see more on the wing for the rest of his career than being the lone big in a lineup. Outside those two, your putting faith in a D2 transfer and a freshman.

Broome will be arguably the best big on the market and a legit shot blocker who you can also throw the ball to on the block and he'll get a bucket.

Doesn't need to be a position of need, if you can still upgrade it, why not?

I think you might be underestimating clemence and adams. They will come back a lot stronger, but players often make a big jump between fresh and sophomore, and I think both these guys are poised to take huge steps forward. They got their feet wet this year and are ready for that opportunity.

Do you guys think they can play together at the 4 and 5? I do. One is athletic/mobile enough to guard 1-5 and one can shoot better than all our guards. Self can create match up nightmares building around those 2
