Post up two 7’ and better who are 5 * and give me a spectacular point who can shoot with two lights out shooting guards and we go for the National Championship. It seems simple and appears exactly where we are going.

I don't think that approach is in CDS's playbook. He is much more of a perimeter approach - keep the lane open - and have a mobile big roll hard to the hole off of a high screen. I can't see him doing an old school UNC double post approach.

The issue is there are very few “Game Changing” Big Ben in college basketball. There are not enough for most NBA teams to have one. There are ample Big Men that are just guys and that is where this discussion centers.

Is just a guy Big Man more valuable than really good smaller players.

Every GT fan should know the answer to this after one season under CDS

Having a big allows match up options to suit every game situation. Not having a big the allows the opponent to exploit.
That was obvious the last two years.

In 1990 LSU has O'Neal (7'1"), Roberts (7'0"), Geert Hammink (7'0"), Chris Jackson, and Mo Williamson and we still beat them in the 2nd round of the NCAAT with a 6'10" freshman Malcolm Mackey and 6'11" James Munlin.

yes, but it took the best trio on one team on one team in Tech history probably to do it
