Dallas is an inside power guy more suited for the 5 ( which is the one-in in the 1-4 Matta has been using ).
Not that they won't offer Frease and take him as well. With Oden, Twig and Hunter all possibly leaving after the 07-08 season we may see the staff sign 2 C's.

very true as of now. I was thinking of his future AFTER HE ADDS MORE TO HIS GAME.Dallas really has just inside scoring options eventhough, he shot a lot from outside this season . Is he a big ten outside scorer like a koufos, no way but, I see the buckeyes playing the two big guys like the detroit pistons play the 2 wallaces together and as of now he's a Ben wallace type. Call it two centers or 2 PF's really doesnt matter.
The game has changed so much, there really isn't to many true centers anymore ,with all these talented big players. Matta is taking care of that college/NBA preparation big time. That can do nothing but, help all these players develope and bring more big players in. Dallas is only 6 8 or 69 and we all know, what kind of coach Matta is, so he'll try to develope Dallas as more of a complete player to go with his size to give him better chances in his maybe, NBA future. Basketball is the best sport to get better because, all these great players have been playing against each other for years before college so they have a huge advantage to improve before college. Thats another reason why I laugh at that one year wait for the NBA.
