That's a really good take SN. However, you have to be able to roll 4 bigs in his system and 1 of those bigs has to be able to step out and defend via foot speed/know how against top flight teams. And, Davidson is a top flight team this year. The thing is that if Powell (not a real walk on-he can play) was in there, you have 4 guys that can dribble, pass and shoot. It's so obvious to me that the team picks up the pace when he's in there. They know that the ball won't stick and there's a ton of movement. You could even throw Estime in there as a freshman too. He's gonna get minutes regardless, but it will help diversify his game too.

At the end of the day, as a coach you have to go with your best options. This team will evolve and this coach is smart enough to know what to do. Let's see how it plays out. Matt is not available right now so playing small off the bench makes the most sense to me and I've seen a lot. It's obvious at this point but force feeding the system may pay dividends later perhaps, and perhaps not. You look to do both at this point. It's about being diverse and adapting to what is necessary. If you do that, in the interim, you win games you should win, but look to the future when you can truly roll 4 bigs, with 1 of the bigs being able to stretch and possibly defend out. Heck, UNCW won a ton of games last year with 1 big, yes we had a killer at 4, but we could do well, off the pine, that same way....trust me on that.
