As we can see with Chauncey, size has its pros and cons. Afflalo should be better at dropping down to stop PG's than Bowen when he gets more experience. I actually think AA is a perfect size for a versatile SG stopper. He can defend big 1's and small 3's.
It's just cool that we were the team who was interested in the best defensive college player in the draft last year. He could have been a perfect pick for another GM trying to steal Joe's model.
