Although they look slow, being a top center definitely required skills. Especially if you are a top center during the era of the centers.
When you're short, it just feels like they have such an unfair advantage. It's easy to overlook the footwork, balance, touch, anticipation, and everything else that goes into playing well in the post.

Hey it's not short. It's undersized. My son is already as tall as my wife and he is gunning for me now. He probably has a couple years to go but the flippening is inevitable.

How old is your son?
My older son is turning 12 this year, but have yet to hit his growth spurt. I'm 5'11" and really hoping my son will grow taller than me. My daughter, on the other hand, is turning 13 this year and is already taller than my wife. I guess girls hit puberty earlier than boys in general.

He is 13. Turning 14 in July.

Especially when you're performing all those moves at that size.
