Don't believe the press guides.  I don't see if it really matters if Hakeem
is 6'10' or 7'0'  Weight & intelligence play an important part in being
able to take a beating,  or being quick enough to out fox the opponents. 
Dave Cowens & Wes Unseld were about 6'8" and they were excellent centers
against the likes of Jabbar , Lanier, & Chamberlain.

Duncan can play center if he has a good physical supporting cast.  Is Kevin
Garnett really built for the center or even power forward position ?  He is
very light but his quickness helps him.
