The larger problem is defensively, where now without Kostas, we have no eraser to clean up the mistakes and lack of D effort.

Frankly, I don’t get all the angst over the so-called “big-man” issue. The game has changed, mainly because of the 3point line. Villanova just won the Championship and they didn’t have a prototypical big. Spellman was a 4 and could really stroke it. If the kids learn to play team D, ie, help and recover, then they will be fine. If you watched Loyola play, they often had a team of no one over 6’6” on the floor. They played exceptional team D and it was hard to penetrate the lane.
