    That was my thought as well.

    One is SEC game-ready today. The other needs a little polishing (could be SEC game-ready) but could also be a great backup this coming year and then take over next year. Florida is in a win-win position I think.

    I like the idea of pairing the two bigs at the same time on occasion. I am sure Samuel will hear all about this option

    Really is the direction we see college hoops going. Helps with some of the major areas analytics are underscoring now, like defensive rebounding rate and offensive/defensive 2pt efficiency.

    Sounds like it may be cycling back to Old School Basketball, when you paired a couple of true bigs on the floor together. Basketball started evolving away from that with the 3-point shot and a shot clock, becoming more guard-oriented.

    Little risk with the pickup but can only keep him a single season.

    FYI. He will not be the starting point guard for the Gators next season, but he’s a great pickup.

    Don’t think we are looking for a 6’10” point guard ;)

    We have the beef! A front line with different players for different style teams. I bet the SEC teams are wondering, wtHeck!

    Now on to a truly great point guard!

    Thank you coaching staff, players and Tyrese!

    I do think that Kugel can be a dominating point guard if he can tighten up his handle. Easier said than done.
