Biggest problem we have to deal with is we don't have a basketball player taller than 6'7". How tall is Bates-Diop? I'd say he's gotta be our tallest player.

Sure... there's a couple on the roster, but I wouldn't say they qualify as a basketball player.

Really? Williams is not the presence he should be inside. Slow to react on defense, rebounds with two feet on the floor, and first instinct is to dribble when he catches the ball. That's three strikes. McDonald puts in good effort but doesn't make the grade either. Care to share some basis behind your insightful opinion? Or is that all you got?

Just sayin': Height is a little over rated when it come to rebounding. Rebounding is much more than just height, Clark Kellogg was 6' 7'' and Charles Barkley was only 6' 6''. Both were great rebounders, etc.

If Amir Williams did not see another minute of playing time, I would be fine with that. I was sp looking forward to his play this year and games like yesterday have left me colder than the winter this year.

Not disagreeing with you, but Amir's not the only senior who has been performing terribly of late. And at least Amir doesn't get a ton of minutes.

They are definitely less efficient and productive as a team the more minutes Amir gets. Not that Lee gives you a ton on a nightly basis but he is at least more active and gives you a little more versatility and athleticism. I like their spacing and movement better when Lee and McDonald are in the game. They seem more aggressive. I know the knock on Amir's effort has been about getting him early touches in the game to get him engaged, but after the first 5 minutes of the UM game I was about to strangle somebody. He just frustrates me.
