I think you're both right. Dave does alright versus a traditional post like he is. It's when he has to get out and defend on the perimeter when he looks like...well a traditional post.
This was the difference with Azubuike in his senior year and Dave or Doke when he was an underclassman. He could hedge really well and then recover and he could follow some of the modern post players out to the arc while still playing eraser D in the post.
