If Monte was 2-3" taller or Georges was 30 lbs lighter Fred would have had the same holes to fill from early NBA departures. Maybe (probably) he could have filled them better but having those guys arriving as four year all-conference level players with very little risk of leaving early because of their lack of NBA prototype build was a cornerstone.
Otz does seem to have retained and targeted some guys that could fit that mold. Hunter seems legit but doesn't have the measurables that jump off the page for NBA scouts.
I don't disagree, but an argument could be made that if Monte was taller and Georges lighter, Fred likely wouldn't have landed them in the first place. As I mentioned, it makes you wonder if Fred's success helped Prohm land those guys. But on that thought, would that success and having to fill holes eventually been a problem for Fred? Seems like a crazy argument, but maybe it's not that crazy.
