Perry is roughly the same size as both Robinson and the Morrises, FYI (6'8/6'9, 230ish). And those were just all the players in the last 5 years. You can go even further back in time to see all the many other guys in this program who were better rebounders than Perry Ellis. That isn't to say that he's a terrible rebounder, but it's certainly not a strength of his game either.

He may not be Rodman, and yes he's soft and can't defend, but you are talking shit on something that is far from the worst aspect of this team

So you can call Perry soft and say he can't defend yourself, but you just don't like the fashion that I do it in? Do you think I'm being too harsh on poor young Perry?

He's 6'8, 230 pound athlete who has incredible physical gifts on the basketball court. I guess we have different definitions of great size and athleticism.

So you agree with me then? You couldn't possibly be thinking of doing that.

If they're not getting and making the close shots that the system is designed to get, it throws everyone else out of their comfort zone. Scoring then basically falls on Ellis going 1 on 1 or Mason's creation ability for himself or others. That's even more of a problem when you have slugs on the court like Lucas and Traylor who other teams don't have to guard, allowing them to sag off on Mason, Ellis, or whoever else has the ball in that instance (usually Graham or Selden).

I didn't even read that post of yours, but yes it looks accurate to me.

This has been going around, and it's actually a good read even though PB posted it. I just posted this on twitter yesterday.
