Bingo. Which answers why it’s so PG/Iso heavy. Campbell was a good returning player, easier to build a team around that with so many unknowns. I don’t hate what Simon is doing but we need to get more size, you’re seeing teams like UConn and Michigan build elite teams by simply having very big lineups with upperclassmen and grad students.
You better ante up some big bucks $$$ if you want to see more size. Need about $250,000 per player just to get a average Big.

That Michigan front line is so dominant...all three of those guys could be 1st rd picks in the NBA draft this year

Very curious what the NBA does with Yaxel Lendeborg. Obviously he was the Big Ten POY, but he’d also be 24 before playing a minute in the NBA. Teams seem to really value getting young guys in the draft, and he’ll be 5 or 6 years older than the one and done guys. He’s the exact type of player my Cavs could use. Will be very interesting to see how he’s viewed by the association.

Problem is that age. He’s as old as Cade Cunningham and older than Jalen Duren. He’ll be a solid guy off the bench but there’s a huge difference between the levels anymore

Lendeborg is generally mocked somewhere in the middle of the 1st rd. Would love to have him in Detroit...he'd be a plug and play replacement for Tobias Harris
