in college basketball. What good does that do when a 6'7" guy from Vanderbilt out-rebounds your 6'11" and 7' players? I'm sorry, height is nothing if you don't have the athleticism and instincts to rebound and play good interior defense. For example, Josh Gray is certainly big enough, but he moves like he's wearing lead boots. Dennis Rodman was one of the best rebounders in the NBA and he was "only" 6'7".
