My point being, Miller at 6'9" 244 is right in line with all the big men we have had, other than Steve, in the recent decade. I think with Sam it is more of finding a position that he is comfortable playing. He seems much more like TJ Kline like big man who has killed us in the past.

Plus last time I checked, Sam was only a freshman last season. Take his size, some time in the weight room, and the hard work of our coaching staff and I am confident Sam will do just fine in the paint for us. As an added bonus, rumor has it he can knock down as many 3's in practice as anyone, so hopefully they start falling in games as well.
