More recently, which 6'8" forward was better inside: skinny Brandon or built Dajuan? BB was long, which may have made him look skinny, but the dude was actually pretty ripped. He put up sick bench press numbers in the "combine" or whatever they call it for NBA prospects. Look at BB in his freshman and sophomore years, when he was much skinnier/less ripped than he ended up (though he wasn't bulky even then): he averaged more rebounds per minute in each of those years than in either his junior or senior year; in Bowman's freshman year, Sweets ate up more of the rebounding opportunity on a per-minute basis than Green and Hibbert combined in either his Junior or Senior year. Again, the point is that you don't need to be a big body to get the job done.

Other than Billy's pass being off Horace's foot you're right on the money.

Its all in the style of play.
JTIII is not his Father.
JTIII has his own style. And it appears to be more on the finesse side rather than the physical when it comes to personnel. nothing wrong with that. you can win that way. Seems, JTIII likes to go after long and lean players for his "bigs".
rebounding and physicality is more attitude than anything though.
when Pops said "we need some thugs" on the team, thats what he was referring to.
we don't need Dejuan Blairs. We did fine with the Jeff Green and PE, Jr. type player. They had an attitude. We need more guys like that. Those type of guys seem to be missing.

Off the topic in this...Vernon Macklin seems to be scaring away the big men on Florida...maybe we can get Alex Tyus as the player to be named later in the trade ala PE2. He wants to play the perimeter more....sounds like a good fit as a 4 here.

Perry McDonald is the main reason we lost the 85 championship game after Reggie went down with his ankle issue. Every time I see his name if makes me crazy. Why did JT II put him in a championship game when he had not seen the floor the entire tournament. As you might see I have trouble letting go. Apart from NOVA's incredible shooting and their probably juiced up point guard, who later told Playboy he was juiced in previous game but not that one, the reason we lost is that JTjr kept Reggie in the game long after he injured his ankle and plainly could not keep up on full court defense. I too have trouble letting go.
