So we could add a center or use a spot like what Dean did last year if not our bigs situation is kind if thin no real center depth with Fountain, Chest, Reed, Collins, and Rob Miller.
LSU may not have a true "block" center. But they do have size and length with all of the players mentioned. And quite frankly, LSU's offense has sucked the last two years with a "center". So I don't think there should be an absolute emphasis to sign one just to sign one if he isn't any good. Outside of a few games here and there, part of the issue last year was the emphasis on trying to run the offense (at times) through Baker...who wasn't efficient. Again, outside of a couple of games where Baker was hot shooting the ball, LSU was a better team overall with Dean on the floor. Dean really wasn't a "center". He was more of a PF. But LSU wasn't beholden to trying to run the offense through him. That allowed him to rim-run, attack the offensive glass, and play decent defense.
It appears clear that McMahon is trying to find a wing defender. The only thing that has been worse than LSU's offense over the past two years has been their defense. Ward's not a particularly great defender, and counting on true freshmen to be good defenders right out of HS is often a bad move. Once done, I think McMahon will likely try to find a center/PF. But I doubt it will be a guy who will be looked upon to be a high usage player.
