You know what I'm asking - be honest.

And - Do we have a "Solid 4"?

I thinking JC is "coaching" now - and has figured it out.............

From my chair, the way this team is structured, Walt is the "3", and Ric is the "3" that comes off the bench. 

Edit - yes we have a solid "4".  He's just streaky or inconsistent.

I'd say that Ricardo, TJ, Ivo, Walt and maybe John Smith are all 3's and we have one 4, Reggie.

Generally speaking your 3 can handle the ball....Smith is 100% a 4 in my book.  When was the last time we had a true 5?

I like this team but one of our major problems isagainst teams with big athletic "3" players.  Walt and hall are a bit undersized.  Their advantqge is the speed and quickness they possess.

KVK and Leon. I'd even put Jon Smith much closer to being a 5 man than he is a 3. What are people expecting, a 7 footer?

Smith is a 4, but he could be a 5 if he put on about 20 pounds of muscle.  He's listed at 6-6, 187, although he plays bigger.  Still, he's only one pound heavier than 6-4 Travis Wilkins and 15 pounds lighter than Offut (6-4).  If he added 20 pounds, he'd be TJ's size, and could really do some damage underneath.
