In Reply to: Just on Kyle's athleticism alone there's tremendous potential IMO posted by ej on December 03, 2024 at 09:51:28
but I have to tell you. Since I knew we would need a big body I focused my attention on Kyle from the very first exhibition game. This was against a scrappy CSLA team but I don't recall any of them being over 6'8. Kyle's athleticism did not stand out. Also, he seems to be shorter than what he is listed. While he can jump through the roof, I haven't seen great lateral movement, and he's easily displaced by smaller guys. I can see a world where he runs free and blocks shots because of his great leaping ability but I just don't think Cronin schemes that way. We'll see. I hope you're right and he can start doing some of the things being asked of him. As for Dylan, I think we're asking him to do things he's not super comfortable with. I agree he did a great job at the end of last year when we had no one else capable. This year I think we have a better option and he's just as likely to be ready as Dylan is to recapture last year's form.
