I never said he was a "career center" but obviously his best success has come while playing Center. The wolves are struggling to find an identity and I don't think it's fair and accurate to say well AL played some at the PF so he's not a center. There is absolutely ZERO question that he would play his minutes as a center here. He would probably get a few minutes at PF too along the way but it's because he can score the ball and create his own shots unlike any of the other big men we have, not because he is too undersized.
I think if any center came here, Jefferson or Kaman are the type that would fit well along with Dirk. Someone that can create and draw attention or a double in the post because Dirk doesn't thrive there. He doesn't inhabit the same area on th floor as Dirk, so I would think that he would fit well here. We have tried Bradley, Damp, Raef, so called defensive stoppers etc and some other stuff but so far no one has gotten it done down low offensively.
