Well… that was well worth the wait!

Cliff is not only a guy that is an upgrade at the 5 spot, he makes this roster a national title front runner with Kansas and Houston.

He is a top 5 rim protector averaging 3 blocks per game and alters way more. He allows Alabama to truly play the type of drop coverage that they want to. Below are stats to back that up for Cliff. All in the 97-99% of the country.

In terms of offense, he’s an elite athlete with tremendous size at 6’11 245 lb. All he will be asked to do is rim run in transition and dunk from the dunkers spot. Nothing complex. It does help he is a solid back to the basket scorer, but he will be asked to protect the rim and rebound primarily.

Overall, this addition turned Alabama from a fringe top 10 team to a bonafide top 5 team. Assuming Sears and Stevenson return, this will be a top 3-4 national title contender going into the year.
