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....

Re: A-10 Outlook for 2024-25
I hope we do better in our search for a quality center. Smith , at 6’11 and a very long wingspan weighs in at just 200 or 205 lbs. As a reference point, Fou, at 6’11 is listed as 235 lbs. Smith seems extremely thin and likely weak to play center regularly in the A10 . Furthermore, he averaged single...
