UD traditionally has struggled to recruit good big men and post players. While the game is very much guard oriented due to the 3, long athletic and skilled big men do make a difference.
Yes, there are exceptions to the rule, but teams with skilled bigs often perform well. The P5 conferences usually have better big men.
Steve and Kostas did impact games with their shot blocking. Many more shots were altered than just the ones they blocked. Neither were a great offensive player however.
Kostas had terrible footwork. Would be nice to get a big man in that size range with defensive and offensive skills.
I do believe that Josh is undersized as a post player and that hurts the team defense.
