yes he does... but is he gonna score in the low post against NBA power forwards who are ALL bigger than him?

is he gonna out rebound NBA power forwards?

does he really have enough of an outside shot to warrant being undersized for his position?

no, no and no. so the next question is does he have some intangibles like birdman, blair... etc. again... unless he really shows us something this season... the answer again is no.

Chism is 6'9", 250 lbs.

Carl Landry, Rockets, 6'9", 250, 15.1 ppg, 5.6 rpg
Zach Randolph, Grizzlies, 6'9" 260, 18.2 ppg, 9.4, rpg.
Carlos Boozer, Jazz, 6'9" 266, 18.9 ppg, 10.7 rpg.
Shelden Williams, Celtics, 6'9" 250, 5.8 ppg., 4.5 rpg.

The list can go on forever. If Chism doesn't make it to the league, size won't be the reason.

Chuck Hayes may be an even better example to prove your point.
