Swing and miss with Young and Gill?

Who runs an offense any more with two post players in at the same time?   KR, SC, JJ, HC, SA, SH will all be competing for time at the big wing positions.

No.  Arguably our two best returning players are staying almost exclusively at the 2/3 and commanding a minimum 55 of those available 80 minutes.  Hanni isn't playing a minute at the #1 and he's not playing a minute at the #4.  I suppose there's a scenario where JJ slides up for a few minutes but I trust Wojo wants to avoid that as much as possible.  Each other other 4 you mention will be given the opportunity with starter minutes going to Reinhardt.

Our roster right now has 12 players - two centers, three point guards and seven 2/3s. Zero 4s. So nobody at his position, no real competition. Maybe one of our 2/3s would have been a better 4 than him, but if that's true it means he isn't ready to play in the Big East - at MU or Providence.

He's not.  Which is exactly why I'm not losing sleep over this.

Yeah, I mean we'll never know, but it doesn't take much (a guy at 6'9" get the d-reb that a guy at 6'6" doesn't get, and they put it back in for the W).  Esp. Since one of our two bigs is so injury prone. I agree this wasn't about going from a dumpster fire to a final fourth berth and I hope it's a non-issue but I just foresee a lot of games next year where we shoot the lights out but come up short on the boards (and/or have no answer for an offensive player on the block) and we end up on the wrong side.  Hope I'm wrong and should be a fun team to watch regardless!

Sure we will.  He's going to a team we'll play at least twice next year, a team that has immediate minutes at the 4 available, and a team most of us will watch more than the 2/3 times MU plays them.  If he has an impact for PC (or PU to him) it's not a stretch he'd have an impact for us.  But i think those who believe, as a late bloomer, he will be more of an impact in years 3 and 4 are closer to right. 

That being said - I hope he is a pain in our side in a couple of years under the "a strong BE is good for us" clause

Hanni isn't playing a minute at the #1
