Message: [QUOTE="PAHusky, post: 4411453, member: 3807"] Exactly this. Not only was Whaley a better shooter/floor spacer than either DC or Adama, he had way more lateral quickness and is a much better on ball defender against wings/guards than either (yes, we haven't technically seen DC play defense in college, no, I'm not going to entertain the thought that he's better at guarding guards in college than a former BE DPOY). I realize that it's tempting to look at their combined size and wonder what if, but this two bigs idea is a joke. Like it or not, putting two guys who can't shoot consistently from beyond 15 feet is a recipe for a stagnant offense, one of them will always be getting dragged out of the lane and targeted on defense, they'd get killed in transition, etc. Please stop citing 80's NBA teams as an example of two bigs working. They don't. Adama will start, hopefully DC gets some decent minutes this year and gets some valuable college experience that allows him to seamlessly step in when Adama goes. [/QUOTE]
