If you could take 1 former Cyclone and add them to the current roster, who would you choose and why?

[CycloneErik]

I wasn't really around for Cato. What does he bring?

Shot blocking, intimidation, and thunderous dunks.

I think Fizer's the one for this team, but Cato would be fun.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I'd go Niang personally since we need help scoring more than defense. Fizer wouldn't stretch the floor like Niang.

Not sure how much our defense would suffer though.. Could throw off Otz/Green's defense

Fizer could shoot at least a little bit as I recall. Give me Fizer all day, guy could rebound, score almost at will, and D-up. He'd fit extremely well at a position of need. Could go small ball and roll Fizer out at the 5, or Kunc etc.

yeah he had a mid range turnaround in addition to just backing everybody down with his giant rear for easy dunks and layups.

Gotta be a big, purely from a depth perspective. Cato, Fizer, or for a nice inside scoring touch, Craig Brackins.

 

[RotatingColumn]

We need a guy that can create a shot whenever he damn well feels like it. AND isn't a liability on defense. So my vote is Grayer, or Fizer.

Brackins is a nice pull. I can't remember how he was defensively, but he was a great scorer and could shoot it. His length would fit in well also

 

[isucyfan]

Respectfully disagree. We already have a couple 6'4'' 2 guards in the Babb mold. Kalscheur and Babb are the same player basically. Plus Chris never shot from the current 3 pt range.

I had that thought, too. Maybe it's just because Kalscheur is struggling right now, but Babb seemed much more reliable as a shooter. Could be because of the difference in the 3-point line. They are a lot alike defensively.

Fizer could do that. Pretty well actually. I mean, he was a top 5 lottery pick.

 

[RotatingColumn]

Soooo... no Hester yet?

 

[2020cy]

Sam Hill or Ron Falenchek.

 

[Cyrealist]

Royce lost an MMA match last week, surprised it wasn't thread worthy here.

Just watched a video of him and was reminded he led the team in scoring, rebounding, assists, blocks and steals. ISU played eventual champions Kentucky in the Tourney. They had two lottery picks and the commentators said Royce was the best player on the floor.

 

[NENick]

The inside scoring of Fizer or Brackins would be a great addition. On the other hand, so would Tyrus McGee off the bench. What about Hornacek? Stabalizing influence, ball handling, decent defense, deadly from 3 and the FT line

Actually, Royce was the one who said that.

Sam Hill or Ron Falenchek.

How about "Point-a-Minute" Lafester Rhodes? Dropped 54 on Iowa.

 

[HFCS]

He wasn't wrong that one night anyway. That team could have been a wrecking ball in a lot of other parts of the bracket.

Where is Cato now?

Where is Cato now?

Saw on his Instagram that he ate an 860 dollar gold leaf steak the other day. Seems he's doing just fine lol.

His Wikipedia says he signed a six-year $42m contract at one point, seems to have finished the deal. Wow, I wouldn’t have known.
