We'll see about that kob.. ;) .. regardless, my main point was we are NOT replacing wright with a freshman. Because if it's not Horne, than it will be either Mase or Kennedy at the two spot... with paris coming off the bench. I could live with either scenario at this point. Here are some possible line ups :

g - boothe
g - mase
f - kennedy
f - burrell
c - coker

OR

g - boothe
g - kennedy
f - mase
f - thomas
f - burrell

OR 

g - boothe
g - horne
f - kennedy
f - mase
c - burrell 

p.s. - regardless of who "starts"... the top 8 in the "rotation" will be : boothe, mase, kennedy, burrell, coker, horne, thomas & evans imo.. :) .. peace!

No one is saying Mase is "our PF" hero... but when we go "small", depending on the match-ups, he could play the position for a stretch here or there. He is just about 6'8, has long arms, can rebound & has added some more muscle this year.

6'8"? Are we even looking at the same player?

What is with the infatuation with height lately ?  In highschool I played center and I am only 6'4/6'5 and I held my own against guys that were 7'1... The point im trying to make is that who cares how tall a player is?  I have seen dominant centers at 6'6 and i have seen dominant point guards at 6'6.  Lets just hope Mase plays to his abilities no matter what his height is.

I understand your point but when you reach a certain level height does become more of a factor however I agree that guys of different body shapes can play various positions. Ben Wallace is only 6'7/6'8 but the guy is a mac truck.

KJD, you're right, but Mase is a wing-forward. He's listed at 6'7" but in reality he's more like 6'5" or so.

Mase is a legit 6'7 no more no less.

I'm curious to his wingspan though he might have a 6'10-7' wingspan

Are u serious with this NONSENSE.. lol .. Mase is easily a legit 6'7 and i only say closer to 6'8 because if u see him, burrell & evans together(like i did recently) u can hardly tell a difference in their height. Plus, the kid has put on a noticable amount of weight/muscle as well.... my ONLY point in referencing his height was to establish that he could "handle" the 4 spot on occasion when we go small. Nothing more, nothing less.

He's got $$$ signs flashing in his head. He will shoot whenever he get's the chance.
