That's when you trade some of your surplus of small but talented players to a team that drafted for size all along, and got a bunch of players with no talent.

“Size” doesn’t have to mean guys who are 6’4” or 6’5”, I’m usually happy with six-feet and over tbh. I also think that 6’1”- 6’3” is the sweet spot. Just my opinion.

A team needs some size and brute force if they hope to win in the playoffs.

Of course you want both but now you’re usually talking about a top 5-10 pick. I’m just saying if my choice is between size and skill I’m usually choosing skill.
