I woulda preferred a big with more bulk/strength for this year, but can’t have it all
You have both Williams' whose primary contributions will be rebounding and interior defense. Reid, though probably to a lesser extent, can do the same and Rachal has shown he can battle on the glass and defensively. These guys are players for next year's team. Whatever they can give you this season is a bonus. LSU should be fine on the interior. Wade was always looking for a "stretch 4" type of player. It looks like Cooper can provide that.

I don't know that he's a stretch 4. I think he's a 5. He did shoot some threes for his JC team, so he might be able to give you a little of what Reath did from outside.
But this is a kid who's a late bloomer physically. They're going to put 25 pounds on him this year and when Bigby-Williams is gone he's going to be 6-10 and 235 or so with a 7'5" wingspan, and he's going to be that shotblocker and rebounder in the paint to go with Williams and Days.
He's a perfect fit.
Arkansas wanted him pretty bad.
