Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1382540, member: 40"] Using truisms as a substitute for assessment and the eye test rarely results in long term sustainable success. In general, bigger might be better--but it doesn't always work out that way. Who would you rather have--Marvin Harrison who was minuscule physically, or Lavar Lobdell / Johnny Morant, who were physical specimens? Guess which two players were rated higher. In sports, too much emphasis is often placed upon physical measurables. I'm convinced that's why so many draft selections ultimately bust--GMs and teams place too much emphasis on the wrong evaluative criteria. Its fine to have a rule of thumb ["bigger is better"], but blind adherence to a rule of thumb is dumb. [/QUOTE]
