Without Nanu, Will Center By Commitee Be Enough?

[shadow force]

Losing Onuaku was a pretty big blow. He had developed into quite a force in the paint and was the best of our bigs on the current team.

Will the combined efforts of Matz, Anas, Mangok, etc. be enough to keep the center position a solid threat on both ends of the floor?

Your thoughts?

I think we will be fine, that's 15 fouls and all three together should be able to pick up the slack on rebounds and points. What they can't our 4's will.

Mangok was having a great year before he was shut down, so as a 5th year senior he should be a solid producer. Matz is much improved and should see quality backup minutes.
I would like to see Anas at the 4 exclusively.

We should see more passing and more of team basketball without Onuaku, it will not be much different than him fouling out of most games. or having 2 fouls in the first half, we had to pick up the slack and did a great job of it in my opinion.

Though he did not go into detail, RP in his phone interview with Terry Meiners seemed like he is very high on the Egyptian Majician. Said he is the starter. Said they were bringing Mango along slowly but that even if he were healthly Anus would be the starter.

The team needs the center position to be at least some sort of threat to score. We all saw how it worked with a guy like SVT who could not score on his own. While I take nothing away from SVT- he had heart and hustle- it allows the defense to basically ignore him so it turns into a 5 on 4 situation when the Cards are on offense.
