I disagree guys. I don't care who the opponent is, I don't want to see Dirk logging lots of minutes at the 5. The reason why is that makes Dirk the shot blocker and last line of defense. It's not so much his player as it is needing to be the guy who has responsibility for challenging shots on penetration. And with Henderson's abysmal vertical and lack of height, I sure as hell don't want to see him doing it either when we have 4 active centers who are all great to good shot blockers.
