As long as the rim is 10 ft. high you'll always need height. It's a big man's game.

Basketball teams need big guys/height, like baseball teams need left handed pitching, like football teams need linemen.

I'm skeptical about Mamadou Ndiaye.  All I really saw was that he could finish at the rim against midgets.  He looked really brittle falling down, and didn't look very smooth running the court.

Thon Maker, on the other hand looks like a bigger Kevin Durant.

Kevon Looney looks physically like Kevin Durant.  He plays a similar style game as Durant too.  Will never have Durant's ability, though.  Not sure anybody will.  I think he'll end up being the best player since MJ and somebody who everyone tries to compare future players to.
