Conversation with Arizona Republic's Richard Obert

Dan Majerle tapped into the Champaign basketball market for Grand Canyon's 2018-19 roster, signing Tim Finke in the 2018 class and adding Illinois graduate transfer Michael Finke. Arizona Republic beat writer Richard Obert breaks down the Antelopes:

What kind of impact will Michael and Tim Finke have for Grand Canyon this season?

I think they'll have a huge impact. Michael Finke fills an immediate need — size and toughness on the glass. That has been one of the problems for GCU in the past four years. They need somebody who can rebound consistently and stretch the floor with an ability to shoot.
