Non-role-player big men

At our level these types are hard to come buy. You know what I mean by a role player big man: play good post defense, grab a few rebounds, score a few points, block a few shots. Nothing statistically that is impressive. We have had a few who went beyond that. Rashad Jones-Jennings and Will Neighbour obviously come to mind. Mike Smith probably was there and definitely would have been had he stayed healthy. When you get one of those in the Sun Belt, it makes a big difference. Then, if you can put a decent team around him, you have a chance for a really nice year. Unfortunately, we were not able to do that during the careers of JJ and Will.
