That's my point. Everyone is saying this rebounding defender has to be a PF. Simply saying you can get that same type of player at C and it accomplishes the same thing. Both of those areas (rebounding and defense) need improvement, no doubt, just a small point that it can come from either the PF or C spot and if Pitino wants to play a stretch 4, he needs a defensive/rebounding focussed C. If he believes Konate can be that guy, he may not recruit this bruiser PF so many are clamoring for. Unless he wants the paint so clogged we run the Tubby offense.That's funny. If we had a Noah, Patric Young, or Dieng, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Let me know when Pitino recruits the next Joakim Noah.
And I used those examples since they came from the schools that Pitino used to coach with. Their PF's? Erik Murphy, Chandler Parsons, and Luke Hancock. Not exactly rebounding/defensive specialists.
