Value stretch 4 - Ruby Keith Van Horn

[harryl]

I personally think that Van Horn is all but unplayable unless he can be matched up with someone who is zero offensive threat, from outside or in the post. His Strength is 35...which is -10...compared to Steph Curry.

And he has 50 Block and 53 Shot Contest. He does have 75 Lat Quickness, which is pretty decent. But that just reduces chances he gets blown past and doesn't address the fact that, if he's in front and contesting, that contest has very low impact.

I can't see playing Van Horn over, say, Robert Horry.

Smith is really good especially with the hotspots but idk how his middy compares to KG that was really important to me. I just liked KG because I felt like I had 2 big defensive Cs out there locking up the paint without any liabilities because of how versatile Kevin is.

Smith is terrible in midrange. Bad ratings and I shoot even worse than his ratings. With him, it's either an open 3 or a dunk.
