Interesting analysis, but it's certainly not "laughable" that the coaching staff was starting a 6'10" (PF) guy inside (as the second big) and letting the 6-7/-8 210 guy slash and rebound at the second level. That obviously makes sense -- the current situation is only there because of injury.

I do agree that in JB's system, the forwards have similar roles defensively -- but usually there are two primary rebounders .. one on either side of the rim. Accordingly ... just like in 03' and other years, it's not rocket science to let the 6'9 - 6'10 guy, with the low block game (Warrick), stay inside with the center while the smaller guy slashes to the rim (Anthony).  And if JB had Carmelo Anthony playing (mostly) at the 3, TR sure as hell isn't a 4 ... at least not with Chris McCullough available. Try looking at the LV game in the spots I mentioned .. and you can see what I mean. Tyler got exploited .. and understandably so against much bigger players.

But all this aside, what a tremendous effort the other night against a physical pitt team (and 3 incompetent ref's) ... to see him get hit that hard and come back and give it a go .. speaks volumes about his heart.

I just think he needs a jumper and any discussion about where to put him would be over.
