I play my 7 footer (2m16) tonight at SF position.
I don't think it is a problem game wise in BB. Anyway I didn't notice it yet.
As for training, you train inside stuff, so it's even better to have a 6'11 on the SF position (if you train your SF along), since bigger guys train faster at inside stuff (especially for rebounding it is best to train the biggest guys since they advance fastest, unless I misunderstood the rules. Also his other inside skills help him, is he has good inside skills already, and you train him inside, he will improve faster)
Reverse is also true: people who train outside stuff and include SF i their training positions should play a rather small SF...
So I'd say stick to the guy.
:)
In the end the diffrence won't be THAT big I think, especially not on short term, but hey, it sure won't hurt!
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
