[QUOTE="aaeismacgychel, post: 2030236, member: 748794"] This thread has certainly taken a turn. All I know is that if James Augustine was 8'7" 450lb and had Dee's defensive prowess and speed, the refs still would've found a way to foul him out in under 7minutes against Sean May. Honestly though, height, weight, strength, skills; Those are all attributes a player has that are a major contributor to their success on court. When trying to separate those out from athleticism, what are we even trying to do? I mean heck, if that's the case then by a pound for pound athleticism standpoint, it'd be hard to argue if anybody on our roster is more athletic than one of those 12 year old Chinese Olympic Gymnasts. From a ratio standpoint, if they were scaled up to 7' 300lbs, they'd probably be able to dunk from halfcourt... [/QUOTE]
