Frink out for season

Losing Frink is a blow to the team.    However, getting McCreary back will be a boost.   And, with Frink out, the door is open for the freshmen bigs (Benson and Minott) to make an impact, if they are ready.  Frank might have to play them some, even if they aren't ready.   We are going to need some guys who can play some that are bigger than 6-6 and 210 pounds.     I like Minaya and Anderson, but they are not big enough to hold down the post defensively for long.   A few possessions maybe, but not long.  

 
I would vote for starting McCreary - we have not been getting enough from Leveque. Jaylyn is definitely not a Center, but he does a lot of other things well and is big enough to defend the post. Then Leveque, then we can put Benson in some as the third guy. The new guy, Minott, needs to get in game shape.
I don't much care who starts.  But I think McCreary is a better all around player at this point than Leveque.   However, McCreary is probably not physically ready right now to play a lot of minutes, which means we need Leveque to play a good bit.  As time goes on, I;d like to see Leveque and McCreary in there together some.   Minaya plays so much because he is a pretty good defender and rebounder,  and we've been short of depth lately in the post.  But he's 6-6 and we need more size at times. depending on who we are playing.
