I still think size is overrated when selecting high. I don’t think you can a team of 5’9 guys but I think most teams would be better off by staying away from the 6’3 or taller crowd with high picks. I’m not sure if it is a speed thing but Rantanen is the only tall guy who has consistently put up points.
You need size but can get it from complimentary players.
