Foumena and Brown played 28 mpg. I don't think they brought this kid in to play 8. Yeah, but Foumena and Brown played the 5. This kid is not a center. I see no reason why he can’t play the 5 in the A10. Super tough kid that battles every position. It will be nice to see someone come off the bench a...
