Cronin doesn't have a true center. Bilodeau is a PF. Moving him to center and calling him out as soft because he gets outrebounded and pushed around by true centers is a bad call. Cronin's prototype center has always been 6'8"-6'9". Cronin's teams are four guards and wings plus a PF. It's hard to be elite with that mindset. Maybe he just can't reel in a true center because of negative recruiting by coaches pointing out that he has never had a successful true center. He desperately needs to reel in a tough true center for next yr. Mara will always be two yrs away from being two yrs away.
