    Fans being fans. There is a desperate desire for us to have the next Corey Brewer, Chris Chiozza, or Joakim Noah, etc. Sometimes this results in manufactured comparisons.

    I guess it's because they both play the 4, are only an inch apart in height. Both are/were limited offensively, but do an excellent job on the defensive side of the ball. Will was not near the shot blocker Tuon may end up being, but Will did everything else on defense. There are some similarities.

    Toon is 6'-9". Yeguete is 6'-7". 6'-9" - 6'-7" = 2".
    Toon tips the scales at 172 pounds, soaking wet. Yeguete is a strapping 236 pounds. 236 - 172 = 64 pounds. Not so easy to muscle Yeguete out of position.
    I'm not knocking Toon. Happy to have him on the team, and I see steady improvement from him.

    Why don't we weigh everyone on this board and then ask them what they weighed at age 18? When Wil came to town his freshman year he was anything but strapping. As fans of a team who are message board junkie's what we do is draw on the past. Im not not sure if one can be right or wrong in this instance. Although I must say Tuon does remind me a little bit of da meat hook.
