who will man the 4 with guys banged up

[GoBobs]

From Bonnell:

"Graham's versatility and toughness could come in handy this preseason, with so many big men hurt. Brown said Gerald Wallace or Graham might occasionally fill in at power forward while Boris Diaw and Vlade Radmanovic recover from ankle sprains.


Brown said he'd prefer not to play Derrick Brown at power forward this preseason, so that the rookie can concentrate on learning the small forward position."


So if Wallace or Graham might occasionally be filling in who is starting tuesday night?


Also Lauer says in his blog that Graham is 6'3'' while there is a quote from Brown in the Bonnell article listing him at 6'6''. I hope it is 6'6'' if he is going to be filling in at the 4.

Yahoo and ESPN both have him listed as 6'6.

Still, not the ideal height you want, even for a long athletic guy.

[Fred Williamson]

A 6'3" power forward? Are you kidding me?

this is ajincas time to shine with so many men banged up. I expect he will get alot of minutes in the first few preseason games with diaw and vlad hurt. This is ajincas chance to prove what he can do besides makin u waste a draft pick on him.

It's all about how you use the height. Look at Charles Barkley. wasn't he 6'4"? He's definitely more an exception than the rule, but perhaps Graham can at least cover the spot for now.Still, you're right in that a taller person will find it easier to attain skill at the 4 spot.

I'd guess Lexy is starting and we'll see a lot of Graham there too.

And Barkley's 6'2

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Wikipedia says Barkley claimed he was 6 foot 4, but I've heard him listed at 6 foot 6

I hope Brown starts at PF in the preseason, he might be a rookie but I think he's already better than Ajinca... which is kinda sad.

[teej]

He's older than Lexy though isn't he?

I don't know, he might be but I just don't see him having a career in the NBA.
