Ohio State may look far different style-wise next season
On the previous note, without height and girth on the blocks, Chris Holtmann may be forced to tinker with what this team looks like in 2020-2021. There is some length on the perimeter with the addition of Towns, the insertion of Justice Suing, and with what’s coming back. But we might see a much smaller and quicker lineup than what we’ve been accustomed to.
Duane Washington Jr. starting the second half in place of the injured Kyle Young. #Buckeyes going with a three-guard lineup to open.

If Liddell ends up taking the official post position, he’s probably not going to be heading straight to the blocks to body up on someone. You could see more three and four-guard lineups surrounding a forward or two. You might see the floor stretched out with more space and driving lanes. You could even see things be a little more up-tempo depending on how things all shake out.
