Pete, I thought of that option too, only I would put Biggs at the 4 and Blair at the 5. Biggs is what an inch taller than Blair? But he doesn't have the wingspan of a 747 like Blair does which is why he can be a smaller, but effective center in college. The only thing that scares me with that line up is who comes off the bench for the 4 or 5 spot then? If Gary McGhee can do some work this offseason and really develop then it doesn't matter. You could alternate McGhee at the 5 and Biggs and Blair can rotate between 4 and 5 spots.
McGhee really didn't show me much at all, but neither did Aaron Gray his first year or two. Gray was big tall goon who was a disaster when the ball got into his hands. Granted the fact he was 7 foot tall helped him as a player while he developed his skills, but it shows me that Dixon and co. can successfully develop a big man.
If McGhee, or Cassin Diggs seemingly the latest Jamie Dixon JUCO bust, can develop their games and become a real quality, and tall, center then we will be in much better shape.
I agree about Nasir Robinson too. I try not to bank on incoming freshman we haven't seen yet, but I have heard great things about him. Hopefully he lives up to expectations and can put in some good time.
