Are they athletic, strong, move their feet? I’ll take a 6’8 athletic kid with basketball talent down low, willing to block out, over a 6’10 unathletic kid that struggles to understand or is unwilling every time. Teach positioning and instill relentless pursuit of the ball from the moment they step on campus and it won’t matter what their height is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, hypothetically, if the tallest guy on your roster is Nigel Hayes you're putting him on the block and banging down low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juwan Morgan bangs on the low post at a generous 6’8. I don’t see a need for a traditional center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis and Moore are both 6’10, and there have been reports that Forrester is also 6’10 now. Add in Juwan, Thompson, and Smith, who are all between 6’7 and 6’8 and can play in the post, and that’s more than enough depth down low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I'd take a Reggie Evans over a Todd Lindeman any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
