'T. Haws on playing with B. Kaufusi: "He doesn't move on box-outs. You go to box him out and it's like his feet are locked on the floor...He provides a big presence inside and gives Brandon a good guy to go against every day in practice. He'll definitely help, for sure."'

Good news for the guys, can't even express how much trouble we were in without him.

A 6' 7", 260 lb. block wall. If he can contribute with 6-8 rebounds a game, a blocked shot or 2. Bronson could have a real impact.

So how do we use him? Do we add him to the list of revolving door guys at the 4 spot, or do we put him at 4 and move the revolving door to the 3 spot and move Haws to a 2?



Hope he gives them some football toughness and attitude!!!



Go Cougs!

I want to see him at the 4 and 5. No reason he can't play both. I'm not sure he dressed for this game, but if he is ever going to see time this would be the ideal game.

He is sitting this week. They said he is giving it a try for a week or two. Has to get into bball shape. Says the team runs like the wind. Maybe he will get a chance agaisnt the WCC dregs.

I think it will be a while till he contributes anything meaningful. Hope that I am wrong. Wise of him to give it a couple of weeks.

At the very least, would be great if he came in cleared the key out and abused some defenders. I wonder how good on defense he'll be. We already have some holes there and putting another weak link on the court doesn't help us. Sure he'll be able to defend the paint, but what about rotating out to the perimeter and what about being able to stay in front of his man. Fighting through screens certainly won't be a problem - I feel sorry for anyone that trys to screen him.

I'd pay good money to make him the PG for one play--drive to the basket and if someone wants to take the charge, let 'em....

I wouldn't mind Kaufusi charging into Dellavedova and Pangos a couple of times in our games vs St. Mary's and Gonzaga.



Side note, anyone interested to see how Gonzaga stacks up against Baylor tonight?

Oh didn't know they are playing. I'll have to watch. Thanks for the heads up.

Would love to see a good John Stockton like screen vs Pangos and Hellavadova. Hate those guys.

Would love to see Sharp go to the 3. He's not much of an offensive threat, but he is doing well on slashing for rebounds.

1-carlino/Cusick/winder

2-haws/Delgado/et al

3-Sharp/ Haws/ whoever

4-Kaufusi/Austin/Augi

5-Davies/ Harward/

With you on this lineup, though I would put Winder over Cusick from defensive standpoint.

I'd like to see Sharp at the 3 as well. I think he has more of an offensive game it's just he's out of his element at the 4 in D1 ball. A rotation at the 2/3 consisting of Haws, Delgado, and Sharp might not be too bad. Of course this is all predicated on Kafusi getting up to speed and being able to start eventually. Although I think Austin needs to see more time at the 4.

Yes. For sure. He looked much more agile vs the lumberjacks
