True dat. But 6'10" with a center's body is the key. Can they stand their ground when DHoward is backing them down? Can they clear space and grab boards? Can they make opposing guards think twice before slicing to the rim? Last year only Dalembert had a chance to do such things and he did them less often than needed. I'm anxious to see what Smith does against Howard, after they practiced against each other for years in Houston. Maybe we get something like Blair v San Antonio. No matter what else, all our centers now are at least 4 inches taller than Blair, who's game I loved...he is just too short. He's just like Wright, who's game I also like, but he's still too skinny.
