We don't need another 6'8" guy starting at the 5.

This is CBB not the NBA. If you have an elite and strong 6'8 athlete at the 5 spot, you don't need a 7ft guy. Look at the 2010 UofArizona team that made the elite 8 and lost last second to eventual champions UConn. They didn't play anyone over 6'8 any significant minutes despite being a halfcourt team.

Very few if any kids in CBB are refined enough at 6'10+ to dominate in the post against athletic 6'8 kids. Most haven't had time to put weight on to counter their higher center of gravity and few have gotten thte instruction to play that type of dominant game
