Problem is, against WM... we have no big bodies outside of Linssen to deal with Knight, and the even larger Van Vliet. If the staff keeps forcing Dodd to play in the post against other teams it's a massive problem.

Until we can, or if we do, get bigger bodies who do you suggest we play there? Even at only 6'6", he's the strongest body we have down low. And, in 18 games, he has averaged 15 minutes a game has 16 blocks.

Yeah, Dodd is playing in the post as necessity. It doesn't showcase all of his strengths as a player, which is why he's been up and down this season.

He has played out of position some this year and it also exposed his weaknesses offensively. He has to be able to hit a 15 ft jump shot and put the ball on the floor against size,he has not shown an ability to do that. He will be an undersized 4 IMO but has a ways to go to compete at this level. He has the physical size and athleticism but needs to spend a lot of time with a ball in his hand trying to get better. A summer spent in the weight room and skills practice time could be huge for this guy.
