6’6 is the typical height for a small forward. And in position-less basketball it makes even less of a difference. Hardly anyone even has a true 5 anymore. I can’t remember the last time Tennessee had a guy much bigger than that at the 3 and if they did they also slid over and played the 4 half the time... ie Tyler Smith. shite he was only 6’7.
We have JJJ playing there now along with Keon Johnson and Pons. All at 6’5 and 6’6.
And AU suffered because of it this year. Not until Cooper was able to force switches down low when he penetrated did the AU front have any effectiveness. Bruce likes to play D and Powell is a liability on that end of the floor. Flanigan is a solid 2 and if he has any chance of playing in the NBA, it will be at that position. He is not long like some other 6-5 players in the past, so AU gives up a lot if he plays the 3.

So let’s just ignore the fact that Bruce’s best players he ever had werent good defenders and were great college players, not NBA guys.

He can play the 3 in college and still slide to the 2 in the NBA.
