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.



Alabama plays 3 different guys at the #3 slot

- Primo (6-6)
- Petty (6-5)
- Ellis (6-6)


Hell, Auburn played Devan Cambridge at the 3 all year this year. He's 6-6.

Okoro played the 3 all year last year. He is also 6-6.

Doughty and Dunbar played the 3 the year before that - they are 6-4 and 6-6.



I'm pretty sure Bruce has NEVER had a SF in the regular rotation at Auburn that was taller than 6-6.

Because Bama is willing to shoot the 3 over protecting the glass. Live by the 3 die by the 3 and put your best shooters on the floor.

AU likes the 3, but it is force by a penetrating PG and pushing to ball out for the open 3. Two different styles.
