Like Damp, Haywood is a very big body, a good rebounder, and a defensive presence in the middle. He has limited offensive skills, but how many true 7-foot centers in the league have a significant offensive skillset? A handful? Simply having a guy who is 7 feet, muscular, and fairly active is something the Mavs should be grateful for.

You had me at funnily.
