It is pretty sad when the point guard of the opposition outrebounds you and
you can't teach him a lesson not to come in there. Maybe that is what Hunter
could add no one else on this team can.

Sigh. John - I haven't played PF or center since after high school when the
boys finally got their growth spurts to pass me (about 5'10"), have a
highly gimpy foot and too many years, and **I** could offer more inside
than Sundov. Including making them regret it a lot more when they tried to
knock me over and/or of their way. Although I think you underrate the new,
honestly improved Blount, who isn't a rebounding fool by any means but
offers other things.

That being said, I absolutely agree that height is only one thing to look
at. With Sundov an example of just how little it can mean.
