Realistically, I’m hoping to add someone who is simply going to play competently on the defensive end. Oturu and Curry are plus offensive players. When moderately healthy, Curry spaces and sees the floor well. I suspect an improved jumpsuit will complement his diminished athleticism next year. Another 20 lbs on Oturu next year will have *us* talking possible NBA future.
To that end, a guy or two playing at BK level would be sufficient for 15 min a game. We are losing Murphy, but I don’t think we need to replace his offensive production, we just need to lock down the post defensive rebounding. Our offense will look different next year as Pitino hopefully adjusts to the pieces he has. Hopefully that means more shooters and fewer bruisers.
Rounding out, we don’t need an “answer”, we just need a solid enough rotation of 8 guys for most games. We are close.
