I have a good feeling about Max, and it probably is a good chance he will see some minutes as a third option, but still gotta believe he is going to be raw enough that come ACC play he might see a handful of minutes a game.
Even going back to his Oklahoma days, HCJC has preferred a one in four out style. 2008-9 his top 7 players were 6-10 blake griffen, 6-4 PG Warren and a group of 6-7, 6-6, 6-6. 6-5 & 6-3 wings.
That is what he has said he would prefer since he has gotten to Oakland - a PG, a big and wings.
Going into next year his most proven, experienced and talented players are going to be X, Trey, Toney, Champ and Murphy. Horton likely will be in the mix.
When the schedule tightens up in ACC play, gotta believe he will default to what he knows and believes, and it is hard to think he is going to sit Toney, Champ or even Horton or Murphy so he can have to "bigs" just to play two bigs.
We have to hope Hugs has the talent to be a guy who can really help from day one, but until such time as AKC, Max and Collier get the maturity and experience to hold up consistently and also significantly impact the game ... It just seems that until he is able to add more high end talented big men like he had at Duke, he will go with the one in four out approach.
Or, I can see that with time, a year or two, Max will be good enough and Hugs will want the opportunity to play as a forward, that perhaps you might see a line up with Max at C and Hugs at PF, but hard to see that happening any time before 2021-22.
