Not sure the 2 is a dumping spot for unathletic players. In fact, SU's zone is successful only when we keep opposing guards out of the lane -- and that requires players who can stay close enough to close out on shooters and still prevent them from penetrating (Battle fits the bill perfectly).
AW3 is a talented BB player, no doubt. He'll have all he can handle on D rotating back and forth between the wing and the baseline. But at 6'7 220-230, he's about the same size as Tyler Roberson - maybe a little bulkier. Asking a player built like that to stay in front of ACC guards for longer than a few possessions is inviting a mismatch and creating a defensive liability.
I don't see it.
220 is probably spot on. 230 makes him seem bigger than he is. For reference, White has about 10 pounds on Tyus Battle.
White looks pretty cut, and everybody seems to agree that he's a strong dude. Muscle makes you faster, not slower.
