He isn't really a new breed. Maybe at UC, but European players changed the "big man" style of forward/center years ago. Then guys like Kevin Durant at 6'9 playing the guard position and forward. With how skinny Lawrence is we should make him play the small forward position.
I wish we knew something about Strickland though. I don't think we necessarily need him this year with Dave, JJ and Rubles, but I feel having his size also doesn't force us into situations where we need Lawrence to play out of position.
Quote from Mick: “Deshaun is a physical player, so the physicality hasn’t been a great adjustment for him,” Cronin said. “He’s got great explosiveness. His decision-making with the ball has got to improve, but defensively he’s as good as any freshman I’ve had in a long time.
I think that is what will get Morman minutes this year. Bishop came in as a freshman and played instantly because of his D. Bishop was a good decision maker though so idk.
