Complete and utter BS.

Nobody is saying he's perfect, that he's not physically undersized, that he's starting caliber, etc.

The threshold for backup center should be:  requisite mobility, use the five fouls, rebound some, contest some shots.  He isn't capable of doing those things?  BS.  He's been capable of that from the beginning, despite the limitations.

And the limitations have been overblown on this forum, including by you.

Guess what's he's dispelling?  The notion that he can't rebound, the notion that he can't be a physical defensive presence because he's skinny, the notion that he doesn't keep rebounds up high, the notion that he can't finish with authority, the notion that he's just a warm body.

Anything else?

6 - 8 minutes per game.  Maybe more, if he earns it any given night -- like he did against GT and like he did today.  The notion that he isn't capable of delivering AT LEAST that in a backup capacity is, frankly, completley false.

And please note, I fully understand that he isn't a great player, that he doesn't have limitations, etc.

But then please note that we're starting a 195 SF in the pivot who can't stop ANYBODY inside.
