Murphy Wallace is an impact player down low. Yes is is one of the better defenders in the NBA. I just don't think that just 1 defender will make that much of a difference. Since he sucks on offense Nellie will be less likely to play another defensive player with him.

But does Wallace help us against SA and LA. I don't think the helps that much. He doesn't have the height or size to be that effective guarding Duncan or Shaq. Sure most everyone has trouble with these two. But right now we feel we can get by anybody but them. I think that the offensive capabilities of Jamison gives us a better shot against these two than the added defensive abilities of Big Ben.
