    Why is there a misconception on this site that states we have a "small line-up"??

    look at it....

    C - Collier and Hakeem are seve footers....I think Cato's more 6'11-ish though....

    PF - Even though he's listed at 6'9, we all now Mo is EASILY 6'10....LOS is 6'11....Kenny is an exception.....

    SF - Walt is 6'8, which is an average SF...Langhi is 6'11....Bullard is 6'10...

    SG - shandon is 6'6, that's a TALL guard...Mobley is 6'4, average for a guard..

    PG - Francis is 6'3 also average, and Moochie is 6'1, which is not short, although below average.......


    So, clear it up, we are NOT a small team...unless we face a lineup like this one:

    PG - Pippen
    SG - Steve Smith
    SF - Rasheed Wallace
    PF - Shawn Kemp
    C - Dale Davis/Arvydas Sabonis

    Our line-up gets shorter when Moochie or Mobley come on the court and Shandon (or Mobley) play the 3. However, as a team we are pretty average: 6'7" (Portland averages 6'8"). There seems to be a tendency to underestimate the size of our players and to overestimate the size of our opponents. For example, people think you're a short center if you aren't at least 7' tall. But how many centers are actually that tall? Maybe, maybe a half-dozen starters.
