I just read an article where Joe Dumars said they were very high on this kid. He said he has really shown stuff in practice, but it is too much to have expected him to emerge ahead of Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace and McDyess. While I agree somewhat, when I saw him play he was a terrible defender and looks like he doesn't understand the game. He's got the athletic ability and the shooting ability to be great; however, does he have the intangibles? If the Mavs were to trade for him who would they have to give up? Devin Harris? Josh Howard? I'd probably have to pass if I were the Mavs brass.
