Finally Convinced that Size Matters ALOT

Height Bulk and Skills combined matters alot

 

This thread just seems so full of that's what she said...

 

That's what mayzar said.

 

For the past couple of years, the Rox have been cheap with the roster, sure they get one or 2 star, then the rest of the team is made up of rejects or midgets

e.g chuck hayes at 6'5 playing center, lowry at pg, all of our pfs the last couple of years.

Honestly, if you're 6'9 and under, you shouldnt be playing pf or center, yea yeah yeah i know- there are many exceptions. But how many of those exceptions are on the rockets

 

So then what position should Scola and Patterson play? Small forward?

 

Kobe Bryant

 

dont roll ur eyes at me cupcake, scola and patterson are undersized pfs. Patterson better start working on his long range. Scola is too old to change now, and should be coming off the bench

But 6'10 and up is ideal for pf. 7' and up is ideal for center
But im guessing ur one of those used to chuck Hayes playing and does not know any better

 

This paragraph says nothing.

 

(Chuck Hayes is way more effective than Hill/Dalembert , who have more "size"...)

 

Tonight, Chuck Hayes vs Marc Gasol: 8pts/3reb vs 14pts/15reb.
Teamwise, Grizzlies put up 113 on the Kings without Randolph.

Regardless of whether or not he's more effective, he's still a lot less effective than a true center.

 

yeah his free-throw and low post scoring moves are effective too

 

why r we comparing 3 terrible players. how about chuck hayes vs hakeem

 

Chuck Hayes on the Rockets played better than the Chuckster on the Kings
Well....we still need more Centers

 

or Charles Barkley vs Shawn Bradley.

Even though there is a point to be made that size does matter in Basketbal, none of your posts make any sense.

 

Patterson and Scola are in the ideal size range for an NBA power forward, and Patterson has the athleticism for the position as well. Scola's issue isn't his size but rather his lack of jumping ability, but he makes up for it with an excellent skillset which makes him a valuable player, though not an all-star caliber one.

 

How about posting with common sense?

 

You got it backwards. Most teams are not starting a 7' and up center. How many had 7 ft+ centers starting?

Teams are used to starting 6'10-6'11" centers like Horford, Noah, DHoward, Stoudemire, Chandler, Blair, Camby, JO'Neal, Okafor, GMonroe, AJefferson, Cousins, DJordan, Perkins, Gortat, KBrown, and Okur. That's 17 out of 30 NBA teams.

The leading all-star vote leader for C was DHoward, 6'9" without shoes and 6'10 1/4" with shoes. He is about 6'10 1/2" now.

Size matters, but athlecism matters more nowadays. It's not the '90s with 300 lb centers. Most of those guys don't have careers anymore. It's all about the athletic 6'10-6'11" 280 lb or less C nowadays like DHoward, Chandler, Stoudemire, Cousins.

Most of the 7'+ centers, Thabeet and Whiteside, come off the bench or don't play at all.

Bynum is in the minority of teams that start a 7'+ center.

There aren't any 7' coming through the drafts either. They usually end up as busts, because they aren't athletic enough. These 6'10-6'11" Cs like Cousins, last year, and Drummond, next year, are the future.

 

so, start Thabeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It's not the size it's the quality of playet.. Plenty of 7 foot stiffs
