I'm just not sold on Sanders as a defender. Does anyone have a good feel for his game? Other than being able to block a whole mess of shots, is he the type of center that can greatly impact a game on the defensive end for an entire game?

Just depends if he's happy, healthy and putting in effort. If he could be our Nick Van Exel and turn it around here to the season he was having last year, he'd be a top-5 defensive center and the next Tyson Chandler. Otherwise, he hasn't been much better than Dalembert
