I really hope he can keep this up and secure the starting center spot. That's what the Sixers need right now, his contributions.

One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

I got his new nickname, "FLASHES" cause he hasn't been consistent all season, He will be the next top notch defensive player if he keeps his head up and plays ball day in and day out.

Kevin Garnett: “Okafor is having a great year. He’s strong, a very good rebounder and active around the basket. He’s playing like an animal right now.”
Dirk Nowitzki: “He is playing phenomenal and he comes to play every night. He is going to be a dominant player is this league.”

Obie will give him minutes if he earns them in practice. He isn't about to put him on the floor if he doesn't.

If Dalembert wants to get on the court more, tell him to work on his three point shot. Hey, it worked for McCarty.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Not many players, especially young ones that can still have confidence mood swings, play well in an undefined role in sporadic minutes. There's really no reason Dalembert shouldn't be playing at least 30 minutes a game.
And Vermillion, add me to your club.

He's a very good player. People have compared him to Theo Ratliff, which isn't bad since Theo is good, but he's already equal to Theo right now and is only getting better. He's going to be an elite defending center in a few years.
