These are all good arguments and valid points. I think I tend to overrate Arinze. I will say that we haven't had many more efficient players in the low post, however. A healthier Arinze was pretty darn tough in 07-08 (13 and 8 on 63% shooting in 30 mpg). The later Arinze wasn't quite as tough on the glass but still -- senior year throwing up 10 and 5 on 67% shooting  with just 1 TO a game in 22 mpg for an absolutely filthy team is pretty impressive. I also loved that he knew exactly what he was and what he was not -- just get to the low block, try to get position and if he did that and we got him the ball, it was basically automatic. There's something to be said for that.

But Rony is a fair point. I think my issue with Rony is that I was too young to appreciate just how phenomenal his contributions were. I was too busy being completely enamored with Stevie, Sherm and DC to understand that Rony was a great player and that Matt Roe was a solid contributor for that matter. That's the only explanation I can think of b/c dude waspretty freaking impressive.
