He's 6'5, though. But a hungry shot blocker. Is he even good on defense? I like his 3ball ability and shot blocking...but is he limited to those two things?
Liddell is touted in this forum as a NBA center prospect. I'm incredibly skeptical. I think it is not smart to plan him switching to a position where he will be playing at a significant size handicap, and imo he's certainly not going to be NBA-ready anytime soon if that's the plan. He's much more likely imo to be used as a PF in the NBA, and even there he will be undersized.
As for whether you might want him or any other particular C at 26, I think you have to opt for BPA, given the fact players in the 20s aren't likely to be NBA-ready for a year or two or three. By then, your needs will look different, so might as well just take the guy, whether big, wing, or point, that you feel is most likely to be a regular for you after that time to develop.
