    Yeah, see him as a 2-3. Everyone counting him as another big, well I’d feel differently. I think he will be a super productive player.

    Fudge will not play the 2 at all, in my opinion.

    Maybe, but not a 4. In a pinch for 5 minutes maybe

    Depends on who else we sign.

    Agreed. He did not play the two in HS, on the travel circuit, or at LSU. Was a combo forward throughout who excelled on the glass and protecting the rim. I can’t imagine a staff that prioritizes shooting and handling at four positions would put him on the wing.

    Yes seems like a solid rebounder and shot-blocker, with a 7-foot wingspan I'm not surprised. He looks like he'd be a good compliment to CC. Imagine if we put CC, Jitoboh and Fudge in the same line-up. Jitoboh at the power forward spot and Fudge at the 3. Or maybe swap CC and Jitoboh at the 4 and 5.

    I have a hard time imagining JJ guarding the 4-spot.

    Yes maybe keep him at the 5 and move CC to the 4 if and when they play together

    Maybe play zone if they are both in at the same time.

    does Fudge have a 3 point shot? Looks like 4 starting positions are already spoken for

    Whaddya mean. He was guarding point guards half the time on switches before he got hurt.

    I cannot imagine a world in which this staff would want to or would need to put CC and JJ on the floor together. They are far more likely to play small, with Fudge or Richard at the four, than put a five there.

    Not without help, unless it was busted. You have to be able to switch in today’s game, but no one wants a big isolated on a guard if they can help it.

    Seemed to be busted a lot, and opposing teams knew it and attacked it.

    think that's on limited attempts though...most shoot better when they get more PT and shots up, get into a rhythm

    JJ will not play the 4 unless he loses 200 pounds. I don’t know about CC.

    The issue with CC at the 4 is on defense. I am not sure he has enough lateral quickness to play at the 4. But that is for his audition this next season.
