How great is it to have a center that getting 3+ blocks isn't an insane rarity?

I love Haywood's game. I love the fact we don't have to be reliant on Dampier anymore. That's the biggest gift that could've came in that Wiz trade. Sure we could've used a 2 guard but Haywood was the real piece we needed to compete in this league. Especially with our sometimes suspect perimeter defense. But even Stevenson seems to look to be an upgrade on that front. I just appreciate the consistency from Haywood. There's no question that Dampier can play. The question is will he play tonight. Will he play the next game. Its just too inconsistent and it seems to be more about the want to play.

Its no slam on Damp...but Damp is a poor offensive player, and Haywood is actually good.
