He got so shafted on his deal. Got a 4 year deal and then got like 6 minutes of playing time. I think he can contribute is all - like a Paul Millsap off the bench. He's not as polished, but I just love seeing him crash the boards, the flying elbows (i.e. OUT MY WAY) and the slam. :D Not sure about Jonas, Maxiell is good!!!

(Almost nothing rattles a visiting team more than a hype crowd.) Then, Coach Q could alternate the starting center for the best match up against the other centers in the league. For example, he could use (the younger centers) like "K.B." against the "less active" starting centers in the league since he needs the most work and experience, and sub "C-Wil" in to do easy damage against the second teir centers, while (the older) Big Ben can start against the (also older) Shaq's and (injury prone) Yao's in the league when you need more defense. I just hope he can stay healthy himself.

Granted, I'd like a Dwight Howard or a healthy Greg Oden starting instead, but this is reality. As of now I want Kwame to start as I think he's a good defensive fit next to the the offensive-minded CV. Wilcox is better offensively and, along with Gordon, should be better off the bench. I wanna see how Big Ben plays before making a judgment call on him. He did start for the best team in the league last season before all the injuries.
