40 minutes of hell is the great equalizer. Believe me, Lyons and Carroll weren't a "real inside presence". Carroll had some skills with his back to the basket but he was by no means a true center (or a conventional post for that matter).
Ramsey, Safford, and Bowers are unconventional post players, but it works for this system. We will be hurt by the lack of a go-to scorer inside, however, their athleticism in full court defense/fast break offense makes up for it somewhat.
