What a rotten deal for him.
I think if Lowell has enough lateral quickness and handles to play significant time at the 3 in some rotations, that should free up the rest of our bigs time to see the floor enough to all make valuable contributions they can be proud of, including Baxter, lee, and Harward. And Baxter and lee and Harward have to know their roles should probably increase the next year.
I think your right though—this could be a great team and the sign of great coaches if the players can buy into putting the team first and playing unselfishly, like they did last year. And I agree George and Erickson redshirting could be a great idea and give them time to refine their game and be ready to make more valuable impacts next year.
