Cato and McKay would gobble up so many rebounds and make the lane pretty damn impossible to be driven.
With that setup I'd do a 3-2 zone and shove the guards out onto the arc.
Only problem is McKay is really good at tip-blocks for transition, and Kelvin liked to bury his blocks into the 14th row, LOL.

Well, If Kelvin just learned to send it that hard to the other end of the floor I'm pretty sure that McKay could outrun the ball and just treat it as another alley-oop.

tl;dr
Dedric Willoughby.
Or possibly Jamal Tinsley. Yes, I know we have Morris, but can you imagine the Morris we've seen as of late looking to score more?
Both "fantasy subs" would start in place of Naz. I love Naz, don't get me wrong, but this is my dream!

Willoughby. When you needed one, he got you one. And usually at a time when it was a dagger.

I always pick Chris Babb. Always think we can use a shutdown defender.

Jeff or Jeff. Grayer or Hornacek. Hornacek was a hell of a passer and 3 point shooter. Grayer was so quick to the basket no one could defend him. Both played good to great defense. I don't know how many times Hornacek was stuck back at the basket on a breakaway fast break from the opposition and would somehow manage to break it up or swat the ball away. And a tough competitor who hated to lose.

No one mentions Jackson Vroman. Look at his stats:
Jackson Vroman Stat Summary:
Basically averaged a double double for two seasons. Put him in there with McKay and we're getting every rebound.

Grayer would probably remove the need for BDJ.
Tyrus McGee if we are talking about adding a player to the rotation. Biggest thing we're missing is another elite 3 point threat.

My first thought was Cato. Cato and McKay in the post would kill almost any team. Block city, but it's hard not to pick Jeff Grayer. He is the best player to ever wear a Cyclone jersey.

JARED FREAKIN HOMAN.
Not a sexy pick, but this team needs a big-body off the bench who can do some serious dirty work down low playing defense and grabbing tough rebounds. He also had an underrated ability to score back to the basket.
And who could forget his epic game vs. #1 seeded UNC in the 2005 NCAA tourney?
19 pts
20 rebounds
1 assist
1 steal
2 blocks
That was a man's game.

Absolutely Grayer. All Big 8 Defensive team, quick enough to guard perimeter players, great rebounder, and a match up nightmare who would be unstoppable in Fred's system. Oh yeah, an All American and Olympian, as well.

He was good when he was angry. Like someone just tried to steal his cow angry.

Give me Grayer also. I don't care what ISU team we are talking about in any given year. They would be instantly better with Grayer on the floor. Second would be Dedric W. for this specific ISU team as Naz's shot has been off recently. I know I'm remembering through rose colored glasses, but I don't think Dedric ever had a run of "off" games in his career.

Just what this team needs - another 50% FT shooter.
