I don't see the point of Cliff AND DaRon (even if hypothetically that was possible). You only need one, plus Ejafor. Then Maker is your third center.

You do need a PG. If you believe in Simeon as a legit PG, then Joseph is fine as the other one but then you need a legit scorer at the 2. If you think Sim is more of a 2, then Joseph is a good fit for the Alleyne role but he is not who I would want as my starting PG unless there is a ton of offense around him.

Considering that Pitino is clearly not looking for a ton of offense from the 5 spot, if you have a pass-first PG (my own preference) then you had better have good scoring from the other 3 spots.

Holmes could play a stretch 4. Look at his stats. 20.3 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 2.6 APG, 54.7% FG%, 38% 3PFG%, 2.1 BPG and 71.3% FT%. He's listed as a 6'10" 235 pound forward on ESPN's website. Holmes would fill the power forward position that I think we need. A bigger and more productive player than Ledlum in my opinion.

Not bad especially not that long ago but in a faster paced game Yaxel faster and more athletic do it all player would be an even better fit with Cliff O. Guy can dream right?

Maybe - but not in the offense Pitino wants to run. He wants a rim defender and rim runner at the 5 and then 4 out. No room for two true bigs on the floor at the same time in his offense.

Let’s dream for a second. Do you think Holmes can play the 4 ?

Just dreaming. What about 2 scenarios. I’m not saying this is happening ! What if we held the 4 spot for Zuby with Holmes declaring and he’s coming for $ after. Again we are just guessing/dreamimg. Or what if you were able to get a 1 year transfer 4 who would be first team but start automatically. Holmes or the other. What would you choose. And Zuby stays he’s basically getting a lot of their backup minutes for 1 year

But here’s the thing…… If Holmes and Brea are so good, how come Dayton only finished third (and lost several games at seasons end) in the A 10?

Maybe because they lost their starting point guard at the beginning of the season and had to go with a 5’9 low level transfer.
