[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 922218, member: 2299"] It's not just that Franklin is a bit undersized. Moses Wright was a bit undersized at 6-9. Franklin is like having Usher play the 5 and that worked out horribly in the NCAAT. That is compounded by the fact that we aren't usually running two PFs often so it's not like we have a second post player to go alongside a small center. We usually are running line ups with 2 guards 2 wings and a 6-7 PF, or one guard, 3 wings, and a 6-7 PF. The bold is a nice saying to try and get people to work a little harder, but it really isn't all that accurate. Rebounding is a skill like anything else. Reading how the ball is going to bounce off the rim, knowing how to time a jump, knowing how to tip it to yourself or a team mate, know how to get good rebounding position, etc etc. By playing one interior player we're often in line ups where only one guy has probably had much pressure to rebound before to develop those skills, and he's often at a further disadvantage because of his height.
