I don't think anyone would even consider that he was, but playing smallball might be an option for the Kings.

No he's not. John is arguably a little undersized for SF. He's listed at 6-6, and most PFs are listed at 6-9 or 6-10. That would even be fine if he was nearly as strong as Ron, but he's not. He has relatively average strength for his position--for a wing!

And yes, unless we were playing a zone, if we only had one big in, Ron was almost always guarding the PF on the other team. We didn't put Ron on the PG if it meant playing John so absurdly out of position at PF.


Measured at 6'7" in shoes around draft time. And yes, Ron did often times guard either the PG or best perimeter player for the other team when we went really small.

Okay, so out of shoes, he's 6'5" - 6'6" at best and is still way too weak to guard PFs in the post.

And no, he didn't.

That's why they usually played zone defense in those situations.
