If we really want to run, we need an another wing. Reed should fit into get most of the 5 minutes followed by Fountain, he runs the floor very well, has great size, and can shoot it. Those are the prototypical MM big men. Not Baker or Dean.

Disagree that Dean wouldn't fit the style. Dean may have run the floor better than any other big.

I may be old school but there’s no way you can compete in sec play with Reed\fountain\chest\collins\miller being your front court. I like the traditional or stretch center if you can play iso around the block when needed. Everyone of those players are primarily stretch at best. Only 2 of them have valuable film and fountain showed his ability to shoot from the perimeter towards the end of the year when Dean and baker split time. So you may have five 3-4s right now.

I see this right now.

I agree with him being able to run the floor some but he had stone feet in the pick and roll defensively and was limited to 5 feet from the basket. That can't happen with the type of system we run, it limits the offense to just a roll option on PNR. Our C needs to be one of the best players on the floor that can score from any level. It's the reason Baker had so many flashes of greatness, our system made him look much much better than he actually is, same with Hannibal.
