I don't necessarily agree that a post is needed for this season. I think we are OK there with about 5 guys that can cycle through and play both post positions.

Didn't say I thought we needed one for this year. I agree with you and others that I believe we are more than good for front court starters and depth this coming season. It is for the season after that we are looking forward to. You will lose Bigby-Williams and Reid for sure, with a possibility of losing Emmitt (yes, I know, he is not really a 5, but will play in the 4/5 role a lot this season with his skill set) depending on how he does this year and what his future goals/motivations are. So that is 2 and possibly 3 losses for 19-20 and right now most of what is being recruited for that season are 2/3/4 type players. That's why getting someone this year that is either a sit and develop guy or someone with multiple years of eligibility that is good with not playing much this year in order to develop more.
