Uthoff and Jok what kind of players are they... strengths?

[DenchyDave]

Jok is 6'6 and his HS coach Horner and the ranking expert says he can play the 4, but you know more than they do.
Uthoff is 6'8 and to say he "CAN'T" play the 4 is foolish, if McCabe and Basabe at 6'7 can play the 4, how can't Uhtoff play the 4.
my point with Ingram he is a defensive minded player, if his defense is needed nor there is a injury or Foul trouble with Clemmons oe Gesell he can play the point, will he, I personnally don't think so
for matchup reason with Ingram at 6'2 he will see more time at the 2 and will see time going up against small lineups when the other team wing is 6'4 to 6'6, to keep the matchups.
last seasson Iowa got beat because some teams had taller 3's, 4's and 5's. this year and in the future this will not happen.
it appears it is my posts are what disturbs because they are to the point and are not bound by negativety. like most are

How can you say your post aren't negative when you started a thread telling everyone to temper their expectations for this team. That is pretty negative.....

Most posters on here aren't bashing the team or players. You just say that when others don't agree with you. Like for instance saying that White should be playing the 4 almost exclusively isn't bashing the coach, team, or player. Yet since it differs from your opinion, you will say it is bashing the coach, the player, and that you know more than the coach.....blah, blah, blah.....

You claim that because of height uthoff and/or jok can play the 4. I say that skill set dictates otherwise. But in another post you say that height should have nothing to do with position. Jok can play the 4 in hs...he tries to play the 4 in d1 basketball and he will get worked over harder than you on this message board. Uthoff can play the 4 but his skill set is better for the wing. Just like white's skill set allows him to play the 3 (sometimes) but it serves him best at the 4. This isn't a downgrade on any of them it is instead saying that they are best at their natural positions. i.e. jok and uthoff on the wing and white as a 4. Sometimes they can play other positions but those are their top spots.
