backup to him with Lee possibly factoring in. Ideally we'd bring in a higher level Center recruit as well (maybe Sissoko from Wasatch Academy?), but the situation isn't nearly as bad as the OP is insinuating.

BYU needs another big man NOW. Baxter wants to play pro ball at the 3 or 4, if

Baxter isn't playing the 5.

Even if Lee plays well at the 5, who will back him up?

Just because there are 5 guys on the floor doesn't mean there is a "5" in the way a center is traditionally thought

Too many people still think in the 80s/90s offense systems.

Sometimes your match ups demand that you have a bruiser for defense and rebounds

buffalo played Ayton last year with the tallest guy on the team being 6'6".

Buffalo played a 4-guard lineup, but they had multiple guys taller than 6'6"

Who will play at 5 next year other than Baxter and Lee?

Noah Hartsock worked on his outside game while being used primarily as a 4, 5. Since him, we haven't had many big guys

6-11 Richard Harward is transferring to BYU and will play the 5 in 20/21

Once again, who will back up Harward? NOT Wyatt Lowell. And what if Lee doesn't

Did you even read my post? Bernardo Da Silva will likely play the 5 as well

Da Silva has same body type as Baxter. Will get overpowered physically

Gonzaga made an E8 run with Clarke and Hachimura playing big

Harward isn’t the 5 we need. Limited skills

Yeah it is. We don’t know if Da Silva or Lee can play

If we end up with a better 5 later great but Harward appears to be better than

Harward fan here. I like bigs who catch everything they touch.

Lee has a brain, a heart, and size

Don't know his upside, but it's more than some CBers think. Lee will contribute.

You can’t slip a piece of paper under either of their feet when they jump

Agreed. But RH might help get more wins than athletic bigs with poor hands.

Yes, or two or three.
