yes, if everything else is equal, the added height is an advantage. Certainly, we would like more height. Often when we are not getting rebounds extra height would not make a difference. If you are horizontally at the wrong position, then all the vertical height isn't going to help. I would rather have it all, including the height. But the reality is that we are lacking in height. Putting Sy in adds height, but takes away from other advantages of other players. Next year, with Blackshear back and Sy developing, we should improve. Until then we need to improve rebounding by developing non-height related rebounding skills.
