What's this?

I don't see N'Guessan as a 3 at all, but he could end up seeing a lot

of back up minutes at 4 and 5, especially if Ojiako and/or Kidd don't develop this season. I think N'Guessan has some skills close to the basket offensively, but that is somewhat negated by his inability to make free throws, as he will draw fouls.

It seems everyone has all but given up on Ojiako but he should reasonably be expected to be the more developed player than Kidd at this point. I think Kidd is a great prospect for future seasons but seems to have much to learn still, particularly on defense based on comments I've read from others who should know. What this team could really use is Ojiako to be ready to at least play solid back up minutes now, which would give us reasonable depth. Otherwise we're back in the "Florida" situation when Aluma and Mutts have both fouled out. Then, if either Kidd (or Haynes) were to emerge that would be icing on the cake.
