This is, essentially, all I'm saying. Let's be careful annointing this guy ready to be a starting center on a playoff team.
ESPECIALLY because the most important component of a center that plays next to Dirk is DEFENSE. I'm as excited as the next guy about possibly having a center on the court than can score (that's not the same height as our SF), but part of the reason Damp is underrated around here (imo) is the fact that most of his contributions come defensively, which is much harder to quantify.
It's going to take some time before we know what we have in this guy (assuming we get him at all).
