Re: A-10 Outlook for 2024-25
You don’t like Fuchs starting at center? Would you start Green at Power Forward? I think we need to be realistic about Fuchs’capabilities. He certainly is not a rim protector, nor even a strong defensive presence in the paint. He is excellent at finishing but has shown little one on one post moves....

IF Zapala gets off in Kingston C Zapala PF Fuchs SF Green SG House PG Lawrence Bench - Bassy/Traore/Cam I like that lineup although, I don’t know if the plan is to start 2 bigs but we shall see.

Bassy and house are volume scorers, that is playing with fire having both starting guards needing that many shots to get theirs. Especially your point guard.
