Spencer is also 18 yrs old. See him in 2 years. Probably in the NBA.

How is it so fricking hard for Auburn to find serviceable meaty 4s and 5s? How can Harvard and every other fricking program in the country find 6'8 and 6'9 250-260lb big men when we field skinny arse dudes who don't know the definition of rebounding or post offense? Let's be real Spencer doesn't bring much of anything defensively except for the occasional block because of his size.



Who was our last serviceable big man? Aaron Swinson? Bowers isn't awful.

Yeah OK so in 2 years he's going to develop a body, scoring game, and basketball IQ high enough in two years to play in the highest league of basketball? no he's not.

It's not unfathomable to think he could put on some weight and become a more legitimate post player.

I wouldn't classify Bowers as a "big man".

He's got to put on a ton of weight. His post moves consist of a 6 foot hook shot.

He can be a great role player but as far as being an anchor he's just not going to be that player

We have no answer for their low post game. Whereas if we ever get the ball down low they double whoever it is and they freak out and try an impossible shot instead of finding the open man. What frustrates me is our offense consists of 5 guys spread out along the 3 point line just passing it back and forth until the shot clock runs out. We are boned with Dunans out. At least people have to respect his ability to drive.

Wish Matt Atewe would've stuck it out here. He'd play on this team if he could've stayed healthy.

Yep, Dunans being out will cost us several wins.

He had the body needed to play down low. Much like Adrian Forbes who just couldn't get it together mentally. Chubb was little until his senior year when he finally got to 240 lbs. It took him 3 years to gain 30 lbs

Dunans is done for the year in all likelihood

Bramblett said he was walking around. Hopefully just a sprain.

Horace Spencer looks reasonable as a FT shooter just needs some touch/arc. I have hope

Spencer has played a great 2nd half so far. We need him to step up.

Really need one of Brown or Lang to step up without Dunans.
