what do you guys think happens this year- do we play a little smaller without warney in there? or do we use petras/Campbell (or maybe even sturdy) inside like a true center?
or do we leverage all of these mid-6 footers, and play two forwards in the front? hybrid?
Hard to say for sure without seeing what the jucos, redshirts and noobs do. If I had to hazard a guess, I envision Sturdy 20 minutes, Campbell 15 and Petras 5 at the 5, with Sturdy playing alongside the 7-footers for 10 minutes at the 4. In the AE, I think you can get away with 6-7/225 at the 5, especially with high risers at the 2, 3 and 4 (i.e. Nyama, Saintel and Walker) to help on the glass.
I am most looking forward to seeing what Garcia can do. We need scoring, and I'm hoping he can be a guy who can knock down the jumper but also create his own shot.
