Marcus's current situation obviously just got majorly complicated. But we could really use a 4 like him. He'd give Khalifa the most potent cutter option on the roster. He'd give Fouss the support in the paint that he currently lacks. And running alongside Noah, he'd give us the option to run a defensively versatile lineup of small ball.

We really need a physically strong 4 who can play above the rim. KState had at least three guys like that in Kaluma, McNair & Nguessin. Honestly, without a healthy Richie — the fact we were able to beat them shows just how good our team D is — & also how overly simple KState's offense is.
