[QUOTE="Techster, post: 718080, member: 360"] This will be the first year the staff has to deal with a true freshmen center. When they came in, Ben Lammers was here and had 2 years of college experience. The staff quickly turned him into an All ACC player the first year. After Lammers, Banks transferred in. He had 2 years of experience at Texas. Same story...another All ACC center. It will be interesting to see how fast they can develop Saba or Meka (and Meka may be more of PF on this level). Moses Wright may be a good indicator, but even then Moses was so raw and inexperienced coming out of HS that I think it's not a good indicator. Plus, Moses is really a PF. In another thread I wrote about how I think Saba will be a lot better than we think. After watching tape of his HS games at Prolific Prep, he was just not a good fit there in terms of showcasing his skillset. Prolific Prep was always going to be about the play of their guards and wings. They had elite level talent there and their style of play resembled more AAU type basketball than the organized offensive sets he'll see at GT and on this level. Although I don't think he's going to be All ACC caliber his first year, I think he'll definitely be a plus presence on the defensive end while contributing put backs and offensive boards on the offensive end. I would be shocked if he wasn't getting 20-25+ minutes a game. [/QUOTE]
