Do you watch NBA games? I'm not trying to insult you, but Mcdyess is
anything but a ball hog. Most of his points come off alley oops, put
backs or in transition. He rarely creates his own shot. Hardly a
prototypical ball hog.

I also dispute your contention that Antoine is a power forward. Pitino
and Antoine himself both agree that Antoine should play small forward.
Antoine is only playing power forward now because we lack bulk in the
middle.

Again do you watch NBA games? Ratliff is not a center. At 225lbs Ratliff
is light enough that Declercq can outmuscle him. Hardly what we need in
a center.

DO YOU WATCH NBA GAMES? Joe Smith is too weak to play power forward much
less center.

Finally something vaguely sane. Yes Geiger has both the skills, height
and bulk to provide a good stop gap at center. He's hardly an allstar
though.
