So Ben won't be covering the low post threat and bodying up in the block?
He'll be freelancing through the paint next to the defensive giant that is CV?

again, he's always been able to do both. Why is this news?
V will be expected to defend his position. They have made that clear from the beginning. Ben won't be switched out on power forwards.
Not on a team without any post defense he won't. He'll be the only guy standing near the basket not thinking about his next shot.
Rasheed = Celtic.
....which I'm sure he's not used to....oh wait, that's always been his role.
Ben is perfectly capable of bodying up is man and then roaming over to help when his man isnt posting up.
Maybe you are counting on Max to free him up to run around attempting blocks. Or perhaps a return to the Tayshaun at PF fiasco?
Nope. Even on Cleveland he wasn't the only guy who played defense.Quote:

If Ben's man is posting, he'll be defending the ball. If he sisn't, then he won't its' that simple.
and the idea that V does not care about defense is premature as shit. try letting him play with some quality defenders for once. God forbid he improves like rip did when he first got here.
Right, because the team defense is of high enough quality not to let the man he leaves have open basket after open basket.
What quality defenders will CV be playing with in Detroit?
