With the way he’s balding, you’d think he’d accept all the hair he can get.

I found this part interesting:
> Last season, he posted the second-worst defensive rating of his career (110.3). Even this was 0.5 better than the team’s overall 110.8 defensive rating.
Obviously defensive rating is far from a perfect metric, and there are factors that possibly helped suppress his number (playing against bench guys, playing alongside Isaac, etc.), but him actually having a better defensive rating than the team number was shocking to me given the quality of Orlando’s defense.
Given the concerns about his defense, this seemed important. Does he still have the skills to provide value as a team defender? Or was this just a statistical fluke?

Just put him with Rudy whenever possible. If he does get blown by well Rudy is obv our best rim protector, and those two have always had a crazy good offensive rating together due to their chemistry.
