I like his inside game but a 6-foot-5 post player is not what we need right now in 2018. Next year we get our 2 shooting bigs and our point guard. We will have 3 spots open for 2018 with Khari, Jaaron and Laster gone. I think we need a PG/SG combo, we need an athletic wing and another big to complement DT. Now if this kid can get some outside shooting and put on a few more inches to his height we're talkin.
Regarding Elmore, if he couldn't shoot, he wouldn't be recruited. Most of the players Saul has brought in so far can shoot, and shoot well.
Regarding what we need...no doubt next year's class will need a couple guys that can play the 1, 2, and 3. I'm not sure about another big as a desperate need though.
