In response to JadwinGeorge
Brase not playing in Italy is somewhat concerning, but the Tigers should not depend on him in any case, even though at full function he would be a big help. Miller is still the best low-post defender on the team, and if he can give them just a little bit of consistent offense--an extra bucket or two--it could tip the balance in close contests. With Brase or Brennan in there they can torture the D with five outside shooters, which is great, but post defense and rim protection suffer. (I'm discounting the possibility of Brennan making a leap on either end of the floor, but that would be a pleasant surprise.)
The unknown to me is whether Cannady makes one of those sophomore jumps that have been known to occur. I sometimes think our phlegmatic style on this board underplayed how terrific he was last season as a freshman.
