Reed, Kyle, Payne, and Meah are fairly similar in that they're defensive anchor centers. They rim protect, they rebound, they don't shoot 3s. Kyle and Reed are better in the sense they have 2 years of eligibility left, though there is no guarantee they won't just move again.
I think one could argue the merits of these 3 players but the big takeaway to me is that we decided we needed this type of player and we have obtained one that is comparable to the other guys. It seems like we have a plan and built towards it.
