We probably are, but they likely won't be a starter so temper those expectations

Nothing to get excited about, very similar to Fouss

we should be looking to upgrade starters not backfilling role players

We are, but you got to have a bench

yeah but you don't aim to get bench guys is my point...

icecougar

He is capable of a starting position just like Fouss was every bit capable

no Carlson played the 4. Keita backed up Lovering at the 5 spot.

At worst an amazing backup. With continued better coaching and growth could be a great starter for a couple of years.

kimdaddy35

Why does he have to be the greatest player of all time? He’s not that and we wouldn’t be getting him if he was that.

He doesn't. I agree he helps with depth which is the post you responded to
