Sorkin is so far below pac 12 level that we'd actually be better off playing a wing at the 5. Sorkin can't guard or rebound the position, and he can't contribute at the offensive end beyond spot up shooting from the perimeter. He's a lot like some of the weaker big men that Ernie had. He might as well be a walk on. If KBW leaves it will be Cage and Wooten at the 5. Sorkin won't see any meaningful minutes for us. Wooten looks exactly like Bell when he was a freshman. He's long and athletic enough to play the 5 in Altman's system. It will just be a matter of putting on muscle for him. He'll play from day one though. Super raw, but defense won't be an issue for him.
I think we're likely to see Cage/Wooten rotating next to McIntosh/White, with Kigab maybe seeing some time at the "4."

Re: MiKyle McIntosh Edit: QUACK!
Sorkin is basically a wing. He is not quick enough on offense or defense to log major minutes at the wing position at this level. However, he is a smart player and it is reasonable to think he can contribute 5 minutes per game as a roll player against most other teams bench players.
Macintosh has a 6'10" wingspan so he may be able to help on the low block. That being said, Oregon will struggle against teams that have legit 7-footers next season, especially if KBW does not come back. Arizona is going to be really rough.
Cage has a 7'2" wingspan and can get off the floor big time. If I had to guess he will log a ton of minutes

I have Cage pencilled in as my 5 if KBW doesn't come back. Supposedly he's a monster rebounder. Not sure how he is on defense.

I could be wrong, but nothing white showed at Georgetown, says starter to me.UOducksTK1 wrote:Yeah, it'll be either White or McIntosh at the 4. Wooten off the bench.
5 is the scary thought. Sorkin and Cage could be our only options if KBW leaves.

Re: MiKyle McIntosh Edit: QUACK!
I never saw White at Georgetown, but their fans were pretty upset when he left. Sounds like he was a promising player there. Sounds like he has more of a below the rim game than most post players we've had in recent years. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start, but he's gonna play a huge role either way. We're too thin up front for him not to.

Re: MiKyle McIntosh Edit: QUACK!
Agree. Also, keep in mind that White was not totally healthy in either of his two seasons at Georgetown. I think his sophomore year he only played a total of 7 games. He is a former Top 50 recruit and is now 100% healthy. I suspect you will see a completely different player next season.Kyle's Brother wrote:I never saw White at Georgetown, but their fans were pretty upset when he left.
