He's tall and he's big and that's it. He has terrible hands, and can't make an uncontested shot from two feet using the backboard.

If you watched Cacok in the CAA tournament and NCAA tournament, he got to rebounds Getty's could have never gotten. He can also run the court and score in the post. Cacok will make everyone forget Gettys starting this year. I think he became confident in the post season, and is going to be aggressive on offense and defense from the start. I expect big things in his Sophomore season. Combined with Elmore at the 4, I think our post play will be vastly better than last year.

Well, all of that is true. But don't underestimate the benefits of being tall and big...something the new-look Seahawks are not. Plumlee looked like an All-American matched up against our under-sized front line in the NCAAs. I really like the direction things are going....but the four guard lineup really has it's limitations as well.
