Grant injury

In Sals defense, he shouldn't be our backup center BUT their center wasn't good and Sal could/should have done more.
I thought Sal was ok today, and is certainly our back up center. He’s head and shoulders better than Grace at this point, and is on the fringe of being a real difference maker on defense.

If he continues to progress and put on some muscle (see Cayo), I think he could be a very good player for us.
 
What I like about Sal is that he is very active under the basket and is always around the ball. Burton is too. We just need Sal and Burton to play defense and rebound and that’s exactly what we are getting from both right now. That said, I think Burton is going to be a great player for us. He will score a lot of points in his career.
 
Burton does a great job of defensive and rebound positioning. Something we have needed for awhile and already paying big dividends.

He arrived here with those skills too. Maybe we should hire his coach as our big man coach :rolleyes:
