Pitt basketball stars Mike Young and Jamel Artis to see postion changes

With a dearth of talent at center last year, Pitt basketball coach Jamie Dixon did his best to get the team's top five players on the court to start games. That meant moving his two top talents, specifically Michael Young and Jamel Artis, up a position. Both played up a position largely, as power forward Young occupied center and Artis played at power forward.

That sounds as if it's going to change.

According to the Trib, both Young and Artis will move back to power forward and small forward, respectively. It's something we've often speculated this offseason as the Panthers brought in big men Alonzo Nelson-Ododa, Rafael Maia, and Rozelle Nix.
