Mate was a a power forward, most of the time, not a true center. He played center when Greenberg went "small" with the rest of the team. Joe McNaull was very good and we were lucky to get him as a tranfer from SDSU. Joe was a better rebounder than Tower, but Tower was the better shooter. Thought I heard recently that McNaull had passed away. Maybe someone can check on that.
Reed was really a power forward forced to play out of position. He was a definite ball hound, but not one of the top 3 centers. Loved him as a floor presence.

: Milisa was the last good center (really a PF)
: that LB had. I also liked Reed but he was
: so one dimensional and could not shoot a
: lick at the line. That push shot was
: terrible.

: I would beg to disagree. If I am not

: Joe McNaull was after Tower, as was the 7

: and whose name escapes me momentarily. Help

: Long Beach has not had an "impact"
: center since Chris Tower. Chris could not
: only play well with his back to the basket,
: but he could step out for a 3-ball.
: Hopefully, Chang and or Fleming can give us
: some of those skills.

: Center has always been LB's biggest
: weakness.
: Both Robinson and Phelps are both good
: rebounders. We could go small and start
: Phelps, Robinson, and Anderson across the
: frontline. They are big enough for the Big
: West.
:
: But I think Monson is hoping to start
: someone bigger at Center. Thats where
: Fleming and Chang come in. At least when we
: play the BCS Schools.
:
: We will see in a couple of weeks.

: Reading Coach Monson quote on Twitter, its
: apparent that our "center
: position" will be our biggest
: weekness. Chang and Fleming have two more
: weeks to get their act together. My biggest
: concern is rebounding. We can't afford to
: give teams second chances especially when we
: play the BCS schools. We need our guards to
: help on rebounds. Everyone needs to
: "crash the boards".
:
: Does anyone have the information on the
: final score of the scrimmage and the box
: score? I'm curious to find out how we are
: matching up.
