Who the are the multiple big wings on the team that just won the title? Draymond? He is two inches shorter and plays center half the time. The next biggest wing is Wiggins. Marcus Smart is 6' 4" and I would rather have him guard any player 1-5 vs Grant. We need a defensive wing. Size is a factor, but not an overriding one.
I'd absolutely prefer Wiggins to Grant. I also think Wiggins fits the profile just fine. 6'7 is probably the minimum, unless they have super long wingspan. The comment made that I responded to was why does it need to be a big wing. Marcus Smart is a DPOY contender, and kind of an anomaly that won't be relevant to most generic discussions about player types. There are always exceptions to every rule, that doesn't mean you don't have a rule. I would take Grant at his height over the majority of 6'4 NBA players who are better defenders than he is because of positional versatility.
