I don't know, he plays defense, a bit above average. As the last two games with him, we have looked like more diverse team in that end. I think Haslem is a very important piece, he is a guy that while being small, could get you 10 rebounds a game, moves an attacks screen and rolls in defense with descent lateral movement well, takes charges well. I think if the Heat are going to built to be a successful team, we have to think about defense by the fact that might be our biggest weakness as of late. With Wade, Shawn, and hopefully a rookie that brings in the points, we are going to need those pieces that do all the small things that don't show in the stat book, but win games. Haslem is one those type of guys. His contract is pretty descent to add, he is the type of guy who is reliable to add.
Last year we forgot about the small things guys such as Posey do, and we are seeing the results in how bad we got.
