For me, it's not the Center position more so than what we currently lack from the frontcourt. Rebounds are the first thing that comes to mind. The second is rim protection. Even with Aday's still-developing frame, he rebounds pretty well. He also does a good job of making players adjust their shots. I, like you am not so concerned about defending the post. Good teams have been known to figure it out. But rebounds, that's concerning, especially when we begin to see bigger more athletic players. The added threat of a rim protector goes without saying.
