Well this is definitely a curve ball. Looking at his video and his stats, it looks like Chidi is a "point forward" type. He doesn't shoot threes (only took one all year), but averaged 5 assists per game. He's skinny, looks like a 2 or 3, but has good handles and you've got to like that 7 rebound a game average. He shot 62 percent from the field, and took more free throw attempts than field goals. Had a terrific assist-to-turnover ratio (2.7). He'll definitely give ISU some versatility.
So what does this mean for the rest of the roster? Does it mean Legardy is likely not going to qualify? Or does it mean Ingram's appeal has been denied? It certainly looks like the roster is now full, but maybe somebody else is leaving. Stay tuned, it will be interesting to see how all this plays out.
One thing it does indicate is that "small ball" is definitely going to be the flavor of the day for the Bengals next year. There really are no "back to the basket" players on the roster, and no traditional post defenders.
