Warrick was Mr. extendo -- very long arms and tremendous reach. He came in at 6'8, but by the time he was a senior, he was 220 pounds and closer to 6'9, which is X-Mas' size.
 
Here's Hakim's listing (6'9) with the Suns: [url]http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3945[/url] This was his listed height when he was drafted in June after his senior year at SU. [url]http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Hakim-Warrick-42/[/url]
 
But back to the point -- maybe Grant's length will give him a rebounding edge -- who knows because he hasn't played against BE level talent. CJ was a surprise playing out of position at the 4 ... very crafty. That said, with both of our bigs underperforming on the glass, RB numbers suffered, costing us critical possessions. At the elite level in college ball, it seems like you need not 1, but 2, big bodies inside or you get worked on the glass. Maybe X-Mas and DC2 will finally give us the twin towers we havn't had since Coleman and Seikely left -- we'll see in the fall.
 
In the meantime, in case you're wondering if CJ or Grant can match Warrick's length, here's a vid you might want to check out.
