Cronin didn't play him despite that by midseason he was a defensive game changer. Opponents attacked inside the paint much less with Mara there, which made perimeter defense much better. With no other option at center Cronin chose to make a defensively weak PF his center. I think no other coach would have made that decision. What a costly blunder.
