I think you make a valid point. The good news is that the top 5 centers in this year's draft are all over 6-3 and 300 lbs. There are also some monster guards who I think can play, such as Duke Robinson (6-5 329), Kraig Urbik (6-5 328), and Luis Vasquez (6-5 333). There is also the humongeous Herman Johnson who goes 6-7 356.
We need more draft picks!
