But other than Maxiell, I don't remember him drafting anyone who was clearly undersized.</p> Yeah, agree with tarsier here … if by ‘tweener’ you mean guys who don’t have a clear position, then yeah, Dumars has drafted a lot of guys like that.

Every GM drafts some of them because that is only one factor among many in rating a prospect. But since when is Joe a big tweener guy?

Too early to tell if Macklin will play THAT well to where it becomes a situation but if it did our lineup COULD look like: PG Knight SG Stuckey SF Jones PF Macklin C Monroe And our second unit could be: PG Bynum SG Gordon SF Jerebko PF Maxiell C (whatever big man we draft in second round after HOPEFULLY trading Tayshaun for a second round pick) ( I wonder what would happen if Mack tears it up these last 5 games…do we still go after a big knowing that Davis, Thomason and Drummond will be gone by the time we get to them or do we go after a wing player like Jones and PJIII that can play both positions incase Macklin was just a flash in the pan?
