I'd prefer some more strength down there, which perhaps Anselem provides, perhaps not. Nevertheless, Jesse has shown he can get extended run without hurting the team. It may depend on match-ups at times, but he's really been getting the job done.

Edwards really has had an impact the latter part of the year - he's big enough to give people problems. Also had a nice finish tonight w/ a move in the lane. Well done, we need the depth, and he's giving us enough to allow Marek to rest or move over to the four. He’s the starting center next year. He played well tonight. Assuming no grad transfers he likely has the inside track. Interesting stat from last night - good sign from our bench:

Imagine if our stubborn coach had played him earlier in the year instead of all those BS excuses.

I’m just grateful it appears he may be able to compete at the center position after all. We really need a big, so better late than never.

There were games this year where I felt like crying over how overmatched Marek was by the size inside of an opponent. Yet we continued to force him for 40 minutes. Strange stuff.

He gave great minutes the other night! Huge. I think we will need him today. Very tough matchup today.

Just like what he said about Kadry being out of shape, like Joe was and deserved to be playing more. I know. It's all absurd. Buddy eating up minutes at SF in blowouts. Joe starting. Kadary being so tired he had to ride a bike endlessly on the sideline. Jesse went from being totally inept, to major piece over night. None of it makes sense.

That's very good news. I'm not sure I see him as a force, but as a backup, he seems well situated to give great minutes off the bench and maybe more depending on match-ups. He seems like a good kid - so glad to see he's sticking around. Wonder if he starts next season.
