Honestly we don't know what we have in the two bigs. Josh O has talked at length about how he let his conditioning go when he was stuck back in London last summer, and he was not prepared when he arrived. Supposedly he has made great strides, and we'll need a wide body at times as well. He and Mulvey will still have a role against teams with bigs like Purdue always runs out.
Can throw Rebraca in that category too IMO.

Absolutely. People have posted how he's going to do this and do that and play great defense, and hell sell programs as well I guess. Hopefully that happens, but we have NO idea what he's going to do against BIG competition EVERY night.

Yes. Clearly the post position on offense will be very different than the past 2 years. It's virtually certain that it will no longer be the focal point of the offense. It would seem most likely that it actually becomes the polar opposite. On block defense and rim protection as priority 1. Rebounding of course. Lastly, taking the offense that's available game by game. There may be significant minutes that a small ball lineup makes most sense such that the 5 position on the roster sees quite an overall reduction in game minutes over the course of the season.

It wasn't so much he let his conditioning go as there were such strict limits on what he could do, it was difficult to do anything. I mean, short of running circles around his living room, there really wasn't anything he was allowed to do.

In the interview, JOSH said, he let his conditioning go, and wasn't watching what he was eating. His words not mine....
 

So not being able to even go outside for extended periods wasn't a big part of conditioning issues? Whether he gained weight or not is immaterial. Not being able to work out was a bigger hindrance than diet.

Lockdown in Great Britain allowed for one exercise period per day. He could have gone out running or walking for that matter.
