He is, but he doesnt play as an C. Too thin and not very good being in the low post. That's what the gripe was during the draft against him.He plays like an more athletic Dirk.
He can play the position but he'll be shooting three more than he is down low. Also, he isnt very good defensively and other C's will dominate him. The Raptors need a big guy to protect Bosh, who is in the same boat as the big Italian.
I think he'd have just as much trouble staying with LeBron, T-Mac, RJ or some of the other SF in the league. He'll probably be asked to bulk up a bit so he can play PF/C, that seems to make more sense than asking a 7footer to develop the kind of foot speed required to defend SF's. I guess Rasho is a decent stop gap for now.

I like the recent pick up by the Bulls with Adrian Griffin. They are still making moves and shaping up nicer and nicer.
Agreed, his is alot more stable than JR Smith. Maybe not the athletic talent but Skiles prefers smart players that will listen. They picked up Eisley for Smith so that will give them a vet PG that can hit the 3.
I hear the Suns have picked up Marcus Banks to, i really wanted the Lakers to get him because our PG defense was so bad last year and Banks is a pit bull defender. We instead got a dude who used to play in the NBA but has been playing in Europe the last couple of years called Shammond Williams. Word is he is very quick and is a excellent 3pt shooter, seems we are surrounding Kobe and Lamar with people who can knock down wide open shots off of double teams with the addition of Vlade Rad to. Its a sound theory but i would have liked to have seen us address our defensive problems to, maybe we can make a trade for a decent shot blocker before training camp starts.
