That means that something else will be open while we concentrate on him. The general conclusion here is that as long as it isn't a wide open Gibson or a driving Lebron, we are willing to live with it.

When the bench comes in, then we have some options. Afflalo seems to be the best one. Jarvis- no. Herrmann- no. Maxiell/ Amir- no/no. Lindsey- maybe. Zone- probably.
You guys will laugh at me but I'd throw almost all those guys at him in stretches, but the real funny part will be this.

Watch the games last year and whenever Dyess got on a switch on him he actually did a really good job.

Maybe because they are both 6'8" 250 and strong and Dyess tended to offer up the J not the drive?
