The 3rd big definitely could define the team's ceiling. Hopefully we have one last trick up our sleeve for that role.

Carr: Scott, found a 3rd big I really, but he’s gonna be a little pricey. Thoughts?

Dolson:

I feel like DDV will want to play 3 bigs for 2 spots.  Equal PT gets them 26/27 minutes unless Sisley plays there.  We likely need another solid bid if our other 2 are starting.

I’d be surprised if Yigi and Sherrell aren’t playing nearly 60 minutes between them. Ten for Sisley as he continues to develop. 

Would leave another 10-12 in the front court…but it’s still a massively important spot in the B1G in case of injuries, foul issues, etc. 

I want a big body and a wing who can shoot

Thought I remembered hearing that proposed a while back.

I don’t think we get 30 out of each of them.  Maybe.  Hopefully.  I feel like 25-27 will be more likely.  Yigi is also foul prone.

I cannot overstate how excited I am to see what our coach can do with these kids. While I think we have the roster talent to make a deep run, I would call this upcoming season a success if he can get them to the second weekend of the dance.

I am hoping for a strong rebounding 3/4 that gives you line-up versatility. Go huge with 6'9 wing/Sherrill/Yigi, or slide the 6'9 guy to the 4 with Sherrill/Yigi at the 5. You could even go small with that person at the 5 if we want more speed/shooting on the floor. 

Another traditional big would be great, but locks us into a fewer number of looks IMO.

I’m not sure we get another third true big that plays. I feel like ideally we do what Michigan did last year and have someone at the 3 that can slide over to the 4 when sherrel/yigi are on the bench

I think that’s going to be Sisley.

You’ve described Zion Sensley to a T. Not much chatter about him anywhere which surprises me. Really good athlete that shoots it well. Insane rebounding numbers for his position.

I could be wrong but I was told that and I thought Tipton reported it but I can’t find it now.
