I’m very optimistic about him being a solid player for us on Day One. If there are reasons for concern, I would be interested in hearing what they are.

I don't think the desire for another capable big is a knock against Moulaye. Anyone who saw him in the exhibition knows what he's capable of and assumes he will be productive. However, he alone does not solve our need for bigs. As far as commodities (forget "proven") he and Jordy are literally all we have outside of true freshman. Most people didn't think much of Matos transferring, but that loss only exacerbates this issue. And yes I know Matos is a "guard," spare me that line of logic please.
This goes hand-in-hand with our love affair of Chase returning. It is such a perfect and eloquent solution that despite its unlikeliness we can't help but cling to it.
