Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 1324201, member: 1423"] He can play either spot, but he's clearly undersized as a PF. Right now, I agree that he fits there because he's a good second-level rebounder and SF is a stretch if you can't shoot. However, when Tyler has played as our second big (on the other side of the rim from the center) against bigger teams, we have gotten punished on the glass, and he has gotten exploited on D. When Chris is back functioning, his skill set and size are clearly better for PF (which is why he was the starter there early this year). He has a back to the basket game, he can block shots, he can finish (or has the potential to finish) over size and he can establish and maintain position against bigger inside players. In his place, Tyler has struggled against GT, UNC, LV, Pitt (twice), and Virginia. Edit .. here's a longer explanation if you have a minute to go through it.
