I've heard a lot of people worried that Withey is going to be a huge matchup problem for us when we play the beaks, but Moore and Green might be up to the task. I think Ratliffe can hold his own against Robinson. He isn't going to win the battle, he just needs to keep him from taking over the game. If we can just keep a body on Withey, I like us at every matchup other than than Robinson.

Moore's emergence has helped lessen the blow of Bowers. That said, now Andrew Jones needs to help lessen the blow of losing
Moore. Moore was a guy you could send out there to body up and absorb some fouls. Now that we actually need him on the floor and productive, Green has to be our big-man depth. Okay - so who's our throwaway big man? Jones, if he can get even a little up to speed, would be a nice big body to put in the post and just bang with guys when Green needs a breather or when Moore inevitably gets into foul trouble.
I'd actually like to see what they can do to incorporate Jones. He's a nice fit as a scrapping bench-big (too bad he's not about 3 inches taller, but oh well).
You look at this team and imagine how good it could have been with Bowers and Mitchell...then you try to immediately forget how good it could have been with Bowers and Mitchell (because folks, that's a National Championship caliber squad....{sigh})
