You just said teams shouldn't play him there. I'm telling you that they play him there because he has a quickness and athletic advantage against most centers. He loses that advantage against teams with bigger front lines & more length
Ok then I see. But now is that even feasible? That may have been the case in 2010 when he's only legit completion was Howard and Noah. But now the C position is back. Even in the East with Whiteside, Drummond, Embid, etc. And he's not the strong physical athlete like TT or Green to make up for being undersized
