The upper-tier teams have #8 guys who are pretty good. They have weaknesses, which is why they are #8 players, but JJB's problem may be that his weaknesses are so glaring (height, defense). Going by minutes played, the #8s for Miami/Boston/LA/Orlando are like Joel Anthony, Quisy, Steve Blake and Gortat respectively.

JJB would be the weakest player out of the bunch in my estimation. Like Dallas with Roddy, those #8s are possibly really #9s depending on how/when Mike Miller, Delonte West, Andrew Bynum, etc. play.

If we compare to the 2nd/3rd tier teams, JJB as #8/#9 is fine though.
