RE:Rasheed Wallace
While teh evaluation of a player's defensive abilities is a subjective task, the numbers don't lie. Not only is Portland the worst defensive team in the league, they are the worst by a LOOONG shot. If Wallace is such a great defender, why are opponents dropping buckets on Portland like rain? Wallace isn't a strong physical presence. He doesn't rebound. He doesn't block a whole lot of shots. He's a lazy punk who probably COULD be a good defender if he gave a shit, but he doesn't.
The stat's don't lie.
