:thatsfunn I forgot size has to do with how good they are. Put me against 7'0 Belter from Dorton and I would lay money I would win. So don't post height on here because Elisha could probably guard all those boys one on one and he's the shortest player on the court if he played. Taylor Newsome probably out rebounded lots of boys taller than him.

Dude are you serious? You must not know anything about basketball, or you're simply a high school kid with little knowledge. When you're as talented a team as Holmes, have athleticism, and length to go with your size, it makes it extremely difficult to defend, rebound, and score against them. Ask any REAL basketball player who played against those Holmes boys and they'll tell you their size makes things extremely difficult. It blocks the passing lanes, forces you to have a quicker release on your shot so it doesn't get blocked, and also forces you to not miss assignments on rebounds.

Why do you think teams didn't press Holmes in nky? Because they were big enough to throw over top of it, quick enough to break it with no dribbling, and athletic enough to finish at the other end with dunks and high percentage shots. Height means everything...that's why Ricardo Johnson will play high D1 and Elisha Justice won't. Not a knock on Elisha at all, but it's the truth. Bigger players are more attractive to college coaches when they have the talent to go with that size.

Even if Justice could guard everyone on Holmes team, which I highly doubt, that's only one player. It's a TEAM game....not a one person show.
