Just like that, Toni Kukoc, standing at a height of 211 cm in his shoes, appeared at the small forward position.
Ceballos couldn't wait any longer, he knew that European idiot couldn't possibly guard him.
Shredding his defense wouldn't be much harder than tearing through a pair of stockings.
Ceballos wasn't blindly confident, Kukoc might still be considered agile at power forward, but at small forward, he was just too slow.
Teammate Steve Kerr had given a fair assessment of Kukoc in an interview with "Sports Illustrated": "Some say he can play four positions, that's an exaggeration. In the NBA, he can't play point guard, he can't play shooting guard, he's at most a small forward who can dribble, but his best fit is at power forward."
The Zen Master had him play the small forward position for a while during the preseason, and the end result was that whoever got the ball wanted to take him on.
That's precisely why Old Winter was so worried.
