When any team below the money conference level gets a dominant big man, they have a huge leg up on the competition, naturally. That is why they are willing to invest time in "project" types. He may really only help you one year, but one year with a good man is worth at least two of a guard, since good big men are so rare at lower levels.
So often we see either the staff or the player give up on the project before it can come to fruition. The player wants to play, and he probably could be playing a lot more at a lower level. The staff, usually under pressure, needs results now instead of later, and so they want someone who will contribute sooner. Neither is willing to pay the price, because the price for big men is high at this level.
