Barnes, Ahamad and Thomas are smaller guards. Terrell, Camper and Horton go 6'4" to 6"5 and Frazier is 6'6". If we go this small then Golding needs to implement the center into the half court offense with pick and rolls and lob plays to keep the defense honest. Also the center has to rebound and block shots which are for the most part impossible when hedging all the time. There would be no backside help either. We would have to shoot and defensive rebound WAY better than last year. Personally I don't think this will work.
Playing Jones at the 4 gives us more size and versatility. He is very efficient on offense, rebounding and blocking shots. With a year under his belt and some more strength I would imagine him as a big contributor this year. IMO Jones also allows us to use Hamilton more for some inside out game. I wonder if he could even play some SF too?
I think Terrell or Camper are big, strong and athletic enough to play the 3 some minutes if needed. I think Frazier could play a little 4 too, but he really needs to be a wing (3 and D finisher) player for this team to strive. Finding another 4 should be Goldings highest priority right now.
