Potapenko is a very good player, but I see him in our ideal system (and what I think
Pitino envisions him as) is the first big man from the bench at both big man
positions. If we could somehow get another one (better than Pot)  then the opposition
wouldn't have layup drills.

Bill Laimbeer is a PERFECT example of what I'd love to be able to get and there are a
few out there. Matt Geiger perhaps.
