Post Players

Fred wants to be up-tempo. Missouri is up-tempo. Mike Anderson did not have a player over 6-9 on his roster.

If a guys 6'8" and has a large frame he can be just as effective as a 6'11" guy. I'd be more worried about the fact that outside of DG, JVB and Scotty we have a team full of ?s.

I swear at the SC tailgate that Hoiberg mentioned he was going after some 6'10 guy in Europe. I could be wrong.

Okie State was in the final four about 5-6 years ago with a ton of 6'6 -6'8 players.

See if Iowa State had some good guards I wouldn't be worried but lets be honest we don't

I dont care what anyone says, Dendy was a big time loss.

Here are the official measurements for this years draft class. Never trust just a roster.

I love it how Aldrich gained 2.25" from putting his shoes on, and Brackins only gaines 1.25". This seems absolutely bogus to me.

Several things here:

-Michael Beasley is 6'7"-6'8" tops
-Just like in football, rosters never tell the truth. Everyone is taller and weighs more
-FH said he wanted to run up tempo, but we've yet to see a game he's coached, so let's not assume we're going to be running the Mike D'Antoni offense here
-Size only matters when it's combined with effort and skill (that's what she said). Size can be neutralized with positioning and effort. For crying out loud, a 6'5" Charles Barkley is one of the better rebounders that has ever played.
-This has been mentioned, but Dendy had virtually no basketball IQ, but he was an athlete and was somebody that other teams would have marked in the scouting reports for the upcoming season. Can't speak to his off court or practice issues, but I would feel a little bit better about the upcoming season if he was still on the team.
