I think he can get himself into position to rebound well from the 4 position. He can help spread out the defense, allowing Q more room to operate.

I think that if he is given the chance to show these aspects of his game that X will become dynamically a different team, instead of trying to duplicate how it has been playing, without a very key piece that made the earlier style work.
I would actually expect this decently often and think it could be effective. Early in the season, when Kaiser was out and we'd be in foul trouble, we'd see Gaston at the 4. I would almost expect to see this tomorrow against Sanogo and Delgado. Going to be a tough task on the boards, so Tyrique and Gaston in the game would make sense.
