6'7 Wade or 6'8 Barkley

[Suguru101]

Who would you pick to start a franchise?

[Ancient Legend]

6'8 Barkley would grab tons of additional boards to his 11-13 normal ones.

6'10 Carl Landry is another one to think of.

Barkley was/is 6'4-6'5.

So you'd pick him over a 6'7 Dwayne Wade?

Barkley at 6'8 would be even harder to defend than lebron.He would probably average more than 15 rpg.

Wade at 6'7 assuming he still plays SG,he would be the best rim protecting wing ever.Imagine peak wade with 7-8' more reach.That would a something.

Its really hard though barkley regular season performance is better but wade has been better in playoffs.Its really a hard question i would say barkley even though you cant go wrong with wade neither

Yes... a 6'8 Barkley would be like Zach Randolph on Steroids with a shooting touch from outside.

Wade's game doesn't depend on his size that much, more his timing and slashing (offensively speaking).

I'd take a 7'6 Jeremy Lin. Oh wait....

[Ancient Legend]

A 6'6 Nate Robinson would shoot jumpers straight down.

I'm leaning towards Wade... I mean, being 6'7 he'd be able to see over the defense, that would make him a better passer, make him asses better cutting lanes and see the rotations that could take place if he goes one way or the other.

Also being able to shoot over almost all shooting guards would better his midrange game and not make him depend on fadeaways.

Defensively he would be much better, though his lazyness can't be cured.

I agree, it's always the begger passers that asses the best

[plowking]

A 6'7 Wade is basically just Lebron James with a worse 3 point shot.

[iamgine]

I propose a 7'1 Yao Ming who doesn't get injured.

All in good fun though.
