I will compliment him on one thing and one thing only because he does it very well. He is a not good, but great, team defender. One-on-one, not so much, but he's great doing everything else. He's always in perfect help position, he plays screen and roll/pop perfectly, and tonight when we went to the double of Bamba he did exactly the right thing with his footwork to allow the double to happen, then not foul. You have to shade high a little bit before the double comes then move to shade low to allow the second defender to maximize their coverage and he does that better than any big I've ever seen.
The good team defender thing is a big deal, it really is, enough to merit his minutes. I have to remember that when he acts like he is a 5'10" guard with the ball in his hands, or when he commits a stupid foul, or when he doesn't move when trying to get a defensive board. I've given up on him o boarding his three THREE! tonight gives him 8 total in the 11 games we've played since the start of conference play, counting Georgia.
