He is listed at 205 lbs. He isn't a PF. Boucher weighs 200 lbs, and some people here had him playing center. There will be times where Boston goes two forwards Minott and Brown or Minott and Hauser or Minott and Hugo. Still won't make him a PF. Boston can have a lineup of Brown, Hugo, Minott, Hauser and Baylor out there at the same time, and none of them with be a Center or a PF.
Boucher passes as a 200lb PF, Minott can pass as a 205lb PF.
Too many people are hung up on traditional positions and wanting players to fit into a certain position based on that.
Case in point, some people here were calling Boucher a center. I said a month ago he isn't a center, weighing in a 200 lbs. A few weeks later, Boucher said he isn't a center and prefers guarding guards and forwards. That's a lot of ask someone to play center at 200 lbs, when you have to go against center 250 lbs and up.
Minott and Boucher are forwards. There is no rule in the NBA that says you can't start all 5 forwards in your lineup or all 5 SGs. The cool thing about them are they are both athletic, fast, tall and have long arms.
