There is much more to basketball than the length of your arms. People have become to upset with measurments. What happend to the good old eye test?
Saric will never have a big wingspan, but he is working on his post game, on his three point shot, body, finishing under contact all the things he needs to play pf on the NBA level. And watching him during his time in Cibona you can see a remarkable growth. He want`s to be the best, win every game. And he leads by example. I meen, if your best player is diving in the stands for losse balls, fighting for every ball, plays with energy each and every minute of every game... than his teammates start to belive in winning and so do the fans.
And, just for fun, if we are going by that logic, who of this pf-s has the speed to stop Saric on the perimeter? And who is the 20 year old pf in the world who has the strenght to bang with the likes of Randolph, Nene or West?
Length does make a pretty big difference when you are a PF hoping to guard the opposing PF in a half court set. For example, every time we play Portland, Aldridge (who isn't even that remarkable of a defender) gives Thaddeus Young fits because he doesn't even need to time his jump properly to alter some of Thad's attempts. I love Thad and his heart and desire, but he doesn't have the length to ever be a premier PF in the NBA.
