Do you think Brandwijk will be taking play time at the 3 slot away from Long? Is that what you were going for?

Brandwijk is much more if a face up forward that is all we are saying. Not a center at all I agree, but so was Bisping before Patsos told him he was Bill Laimbeer and to play accordingly. He will be used as Patsos decides to use him.

Wasn't going for anything. I follow recruiting closely and if you follow his game you would see he is more of a Classic European forward and shoots very well from 3 and is more a 3/4 than a 4/5. Not sure where your going with your comments but mine had nothing do to with Lavon as I was commenting on a Brandwijk

WB will have to use his size as well as his shot. He makes us bigger and that is the direction Patsos preached he would go in. Once again a man of his word.

Just because he can shoot that does not mean he can do all of the other things needed to play the 3. He must be able to defend the perimeter to play there for one thing. He is more of a face up 4 that still has to prove he can defend versatile 4s at the DI level as well

I could be wrong but I don't see any of the freshmen getting the mins Wright or Long got (much less be starting). However, I like the freshmen being added for future depth and the possibility of much increased PT over the years. I would guess that Paige might get mins at the 3 (albeit limited). We have so many options now with players that can play multiple positions. Mins could be based on how people are playing each game (who's hot & who's not). It's a nice problem to have.

WB is as true a center as Bisping is. Doesn't really matter, as long as he's 6'9" and can defend a little down low. He'll be a tough match-up on the other end for our opponents.
