DC was not skinnier than McCullough, because I just don't see how that would be possible.

He did play with an extreme attitude and sure loved to rebound, and that attitude was definitely part of it.  I don't know of too many players who do have that going for them.  As an earlier post in this thread said, 6'10" guys now want to handle the ball and play the perimeter.  The Harry Giles kid who SU is after, that's what DC would've been had he been a perimeter guy, instead of a low post guy.

And guys gotta give Donte Greene a break.  I'm sure the gameplan recruiting him was something along the lines of "ok, our two best outside shooters (both juniors, and the only upperclassmen on the team) will tear their ACLs and have to miss the year, leaving us with a lineup of Flynn, Jackson, Jardine (all freshmen), Kristoff (JC transfer), Onuaku, and Harris, none of whom can shoot from outside the lane, so Donte, you're going to be the sole consistent outside threat on the team, so you're going to have to take 275 3pt shots."  That team's results are far different if either Rautins or Devendorf plays the entire year.  His 17 & 8 that year, given what that team had to work with, was pretty good.  Was it ideal, no, but out of your choices of Harris, Flynn, Jardine, and Kristoff, who else on that team would you have wanted taking 3s?
