Cronin's preferences for centers are, but I cannot speak authoritatively about what Cronin is thinking. From what I've seen (just highlight videos) I don't think too highly of Betts. I think he will probably be a good effective college player somewhere (and maybe that somewhere may turn out to be UCLA) but I don't see him able to play for Cronin with his demands. I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time, but I just don't see it. I really like Kamagate, but everybody is going to want him and he will probably be a one and done guy so maybe Cronin won't even get a sniff and maybe he doesn't really care that much anyway. Who knows.
But I stand by my original point - saying Cronin doesn't like 7'2" centers is inaccurate and maybe a little clever, but an overly simplistic view of what's going on.
