And by the way, KG was a skinny PF playing center well after his prime. In his prime (and playing today) would we dismiss him playing center at 6'11 cause he is to skinny?
Kevin Garnett didn't play center in his prime. In fact, word is he specifically insisted that he was listed at 6'11 so that his coaches don't get the idea of sending him to bang down under with the trees.
Can we knock off the nonsense already?
Nonsense is saying he can't play center because of what? His weight?
Must not be able to play power forward either with the far heavier players like Zach Randolph, David west and sully manning that position.
Such a myopic point of view I don't know why I'm even debating it... But I am
It's all about putting fitting the right pieces together. Putting a team together that maximizes players talents and minimizes individual weaknesses.
One of the biggest weaknesses on last years team was a lack of length and athleticism in the paint.
Our defensive schemes didn't work with out that mobile help defense and shot blocking.
We have the muscle in sully, we have a stretch 4 I'm Oly. As I stated earlier they both have weaknesses that can be minimized by pairing them with the right player. We don't' need a "center" we need that player.
As an aside: How much did Noah weigh wen he came into the league? 223? He didn't weigh much more at 24. Didn't stop that dude from Becoming a beast.
