and the block. The #4 plays the baseline and perimeter.

I am not saying Jontay can't play the #5. But he is a "Power Forward", due to his style of play. He plays like a guard, really. But he does not play in the style of a Center or #5. He can, but he's better from the perimeter, unlike most true Centers who post up. Like Tilmon.

You get too caught up on height. Just because he's 6'10" doesn't mean he has to play Center. Especially since he's been listed as PF his entire HS career.

     Tilmon and Jontay will be starting - Beakerbasher KC - 5/16 18:33:35
          Why people argue against this ^^^ is beyond me. - mooseamas2 MU - 5/16 21:21:18
          Far from a guarantee that Tilmon will start and if Jontay - alwaysright MU - 5/16 20:33:48
               Jontay is a Power Forward. Tilmon is a Center. Two different - mooseamas2 MU - 5/16 21:16:20
                    Does not matter. Even technically out of position, JP is - alwaysright MU - 5/17 07:17:14
                    You are too caught up in positions - wu-tangtiger MU - 5/16 21:23:44
                         They have positions for a reason. The center plays the lane - mooseamas2 MU - 5/16 21:30:10
                              in the NBA and in FIBA 5's don't necessarily play the paint - wu-tangtiger MU - 5/16 21:36:30
                                   I get what you are saying - mooseamas2 MU - 5/17 00:15:15
                                   I like the choice of moving Jontay to the #5 when Jeremiah - BigTime SEMO - 5/16 21:47:18

                                             It's all pretty simple. - alwaysright MU - 5/17 07:27:34
                                                  Everybody keeps putting Smith in the equation - mooseamas2 MU - 5/17 08:43:31
                                                       Smith is clearly a question coming off the injury, but - alwaysright MU - 5/17 21:00:59
                                                       6-9 months is the normal rehab time for an ACL - wu-tangtiger MU - 5/17 08:45:19
                                                            When did he go down, late Feb? March? Or was it earlier - mooseamas2 MU - 5/17 08:57:20
                                                                 He went down in the first SEC game, so late January - wu-tangtiger MU - 5/17 09:05:36
                                             Yeah, but we need Tilmon for boards and defense too - mooseamas2 MU - 5/17 00:11:39
                                                  They are all going to play, so I don't think positions matte - wu-tangtiger MU - 5/17 07:49:47
                                                       Probably best analysis yet. - mooseamas2 MU - 5/17 08:31:22
