No... Lang is a spot up shooter who needs to be running off of screens and such. Heron is a guy that could play a utility 3 or 4. He's only 6'5 but very strong and physical with the ball in the paint. Think of Herron as the future Tyler Harris. Like Harris, Herron may bring the ball down the court and hang around the perimeter one possession then he may be posting up in the paint the next possession. Very versatile.

Michigan State just graduated a guy like that Brendon Dawson. He was a 3 year starter for them and had a lot of success playing the 4 despite being listed at 6'6.

Harris is a 6'10 Stretch 4...

Heron is a 6'5 slasher/playmaker...

Think of Heron as a future James Harden. He's not a 4, he's a 2 or 3, nothing else

So think of the 6'4 Heron as a 6'10 230lb player?

So instead of saying a 6'7 player who got to 225lb can play like Sparty's 6'6 225lb player, you think we should put our 6'4 200LB FR in that role? Makes sense

1- I suggested this as a depth/emergency option for mostly post defense not offense.

2- Malcolm Canada played post defense then PG/Wing on offense last year. No reason Lang can't be a spot up shooter and still give some post defense

3- Lang with some bulk and some inside game would be more valuable than just an outside shooter
