<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Rok @ May 25 2006, 12:12 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>As far as I'm concerned I said they need a big man. But who cares if Aldridge isn't a center is what I'm saying. Chandler is 7'2, that's good enough for center imo, pair him with Aldridge and that's a nice frontcourt. Because Aldridge does what your saying they need, and that's give them something downlow.</div>Just being big in height doesnt make Chandler a center, I dont know if you've noticed but Chandler is built like a pencil. I remember in what i remember was Chandlers 1st year as a Bull, even a 40 year old michael jordan easily overpowered him. The guy is a pencil, I agree with the Lemarcus pick though.

Shawn Bradley was a stick but he still played center. Chandler despite not having a strong body should be able to play center because of his height and ability to shotblock. All Chandler needs is a nice presence next to him, and that's where Aldridge comes in.

That's my point, to play it efficiently you need muscle mass, and that's why Chandler had his best season as a PF, with curry(who is smaller in height) next to him.

But Aldridge is not some tough player, he's much like Channing Frye in that area.

Also, Bradley gets dogged too much, he actually had a productive career.
I must say, the future of the bulls is looking lighter and lighter with their draft pick. As everyone has pointed out they need a center, and LaMarcus Aldridge is the best pick int he draft for that, the Bulls really have become the "Ultimate young talent team".
