From ESPN analyst Jon Barry. Pretty good assessment of the peaks and valleys of one Rasheed Wallace.

Who needs to have a big series against Orlando for the Pistons to win? I guess I would say Rasheed. I think he’s the most important player for this team. I think you’ll probably see him playing Dwight Howard. When he plays on both ends of the floor and gets in the low post, and knocks down threes, and is focused, he’s a top five power forward in the game. But there’s other nights when he doesn’t play focused, he losses his mind and is very ineffective. It comes down to me that he’s the guy that makes Detroit a championship caliber team or a team that is going to get bounced.
