"He may be able to play some three for us depending on what happens, but his best position is a stretch four.“ That was Coach Robert Lee's assessment of Mareik Isom's place in our plans going forward.
That surprised me a little bit. His strength all along appears to have been his 3-point shooting, and it would be a real weapon to have a 6-7 swing man. That would be a tremendous strategic advantage in a league at the level of the SBC. However, thinking about it, we have scads of perimeter players right now, but we are thin in the post. Not that Isom will be doing much posting up given his slender build, but he can slide over from the 3 and play a perimeter 4 to spell the post guys at times. Necessity is the mother of invention.
