He may not be listed as a center but he averaged 17.8 points and 11.6 boards per game. Better numbers than K Love.Exactly, he's not a true center and he's listed at 6'-7", 255 lbs wide body. We'll be playing defense like 2 years ago, double up on our opponent's low post player. Probably, Jordan Hill of the Wildcats who finished strong toward the end of the season averaging 14.9 ppg (the last 10 games) will be the only Center that can create problem for us.
It seems this may stunt the development of Holiday and his playing time now, unless he plays the SG. interesting how this affects the team.As far as development of Jrue Holiday in concerned, we saw he can play the 2 Guard position at the McDonald and Nike Hoops. He'll slide in to take over Westbrook's position rather nicely I may add. Malcom Lee in the other hand who is listed at 6'5" may have to play the 3 Guard off the bench for Shipp. Meanwhile, Jerime Anderson and Michael Roll will provide stability on the backcourt when either Collison or Holiday needs a breather.
