Swift is a good defender & plays bigger than the average 6'9" guy due to his long arms. From what I saw of him last year, when he puts his mind to playing defense, he is very solid. The problems are, he seems to bogg down the Memphis offense (Nellie would have none of that) & he sometimes makes dumb decisions in the post at both ends. All in all, I do not see Swift as the type of player who could stay on the floor in Dallas due to Nellies system, much less contribute.
