I love the way he can OUTMUSCLE guys on the way to the rim. He plays hard and runs hard. I didn't like him too much last year and wasn't sold on him until AFTER his entire preseason of excellent post play, he continues to live at the FREE THROW LINE (where any GOOD PF should be) and he is just finally starting to make his presence felt on the defensive end. He has FINALLY shown an ability and willingness to pass it back out of the post if he gets doubled. I'm very excited about him as a player in the paint for us. I am so sick of the Pistons and their PERIMETER ONLY PLAY. We need a postup player and if Jason Maxiel and eventually Amir Johnson will be those guys than I can't wait to see more of them both.
