Id argue he was a great fit here for this particular team(if he was any good). One of the biggest problems with this year's(and likely next year's) is KJ Adams and the road block he creates and the issues it causes size wise. Since KJ can't play the 4 other than some emergency minutes, he effectively blocks Udeh. This means that if any one of Mccullar, Wilson, or Dick went to the bench for whatever reason, Kansas was at a huge hight disadvantage. We saw on the most important rebound of the season what can happen when we are small. The ideal scenario would have been for Martin or Clemence to emerge as a stretch 4/5 guy that could play along side Adams and space the floor, as well as possibly play with Udeh. With all of those guys probably gone, it leaves a big roster problem with size, because all of the incoming freshman guards aren't really wings, leaving only freshman Adams available at the 4. Being even smaller than last year won't be ideal. [Reply]
