THE CRUCIFIX: Cato: Wood isn't thrilled w/ his role...Will depart in the summer

And hey, that skepticism is valid. I'm right there with you. 

Doesn't mean the situation is improved playing them out of position. Worsened, if anything. 

They're either good enough or they're NOT. Playing them in a spot where their speed and quickness is even more guaranteed to be a huge issue compounds the problem. 

Two bigs = twice the "yuck" for me. I'd rather play 0 bigs than 2. (hyperbole - I'd obviously rather play 1 really good one)

So I am looking at this a little differently.  I am thinking two bigs but no traditional bigs.  You could almost think of it as two PF and no center.  Powell, Maxi and Collins all have the mobility to play PF and the size to play small ball center.  Putting two of those guys on the court at the same time gives you more length and rebounding without sacrificing the ability to play a switch heavy defense.  We could still play plenty of minutes with one of those guys as a single big, providing even more lineup flexibility.
