So true. Upon a quick memory thought about starters.. Stewart, Tuck, and Charles were all 4s really but playing the 5 in a motion offense.... Lobo had Wolters in the NC year. Dolson is just barely a center because of her size and has played some PF in the WNBA due to her passing and adequate perimeter shooting. From a size point of view, even Asja Jones and Jessica Moore would probably end up 4s in the WNBA.

So I'm sort of at just Wolters and Dolson as starting true centers who have won NCs. Stokes never started. Let's hope Dorka can make it happen but again she'll probably be a 4 in the WNBA.

I think the motion offense and the mobility required almost dictates that most of the time you'd have two 4s. It's rare that you find a true center who is willing to be in the kind of shape necessary to be successful in a motion system. We've now seen so many high school bigs pass on UConn and end up at an isolation pound it inside system.... my hypothesis would be as high schoolers they lack the confidence and fortitude that Dolson had to transform their bodies.
