Re: The Eight Foot Two Schlub
This would be like playing Nerf Hoops for the guy. He wouldn't even have to be on his tiptoes to dunk.
At the very least, having him in the paint would open up the rest of the floor to the rest of the team. Because he would be a rebound machine, his team would also be able to take more outside shots and get second chances.
Whether he starts, or not, is not relevant. He would definately play as many minutes as his conditioning would allow.
Bradely and Bol did not have proper mass to go with their height. They were easily moved around. When healthy, Mueresan was very effective. However, he was not often healthy.
The OP seems to imply that the proportions would remain, thus the player would have significant bulk. If that is the case, the player would be alomst impossible to move around.
