I disagree on Randolph. He is a classic PF. He has that deadly midrange game. Reminds me of a better Horace Grant. But regardless, I was not sure what the OP was saying since he specified Centers. It was a poor analogy to compare it to S&V tennis since there are many slower bigs still in the the playoffs, and zero S&V players who win slams. Definitely agree the slower bigs are going away, but the Center position itself is still key.
But yeah SVG is such a great coach. It was a huge loss for the Magic when he got fired. If you look at what he did to get us to the finals, it was such a creative plan. And honestly if Dwight had developed his footwork we would have won multiple titles. The problem is that he could be guarded one on one by Bynum, Garnett and even a scrub C on the Hawks. So once you can guard Dwight one on one, and you have no perimeter player that can create his own shot off the dribble, you are screwed. The Magic tried to salvage an aging Vince Carter for this task, but that was a bad trade that started a downward spiral that ended up with Gilbert Arenas.
