RE: Am i crazy for thinking this?(This should make Ape Happy)
People call Raef a "center" but that doesn't make him one. Why did he play C in Dallas? Because he was big and sorta bulky and thus looked more like a C than Dirk, and the Mavs didnt have a C. Dirk was the PF and thus Raef was supposedly a C. But that is why he was traded - cause he never played like a center (and they Mavs already had a MUCH better PF than Raef.)
But Raef's game is that of a PF - it is outside oriented, not low post oriented, on both ends of the floor. Is he playing C in Boston? Nope, he is playing PF. Put his stats into the PF listings, and you will see just how ineffective he really is.
