I'm looking at the big picture. I can almost guarantee you without placing a wager that the majority of teams that go deep into tournaments have a dominant big man. Whether he's a scorer, shot blocker, or just a clog in the middle. You have these guys, you don't get skunked on rebounds, you get more second chance opportunities, etc.
-Why is it that all NBA teams treasure big men? It's part of basketball. It's what makes good teams great.
Sure we can compete in the Sunbelt with athletic guards/small forwards, but the big center will get you deeper into March.
