Mozgov's best defensive strengths is his post defense against physical power players in the paint (so say somebody like Dwight Howard or Andrew Bynum = best post defender against Bynum in playoffs last year for Denver). Mozgov has a very large frame at 7-1 270lbs with good length. Opposing players find it difficult to move him on the block and/or to finish over his length.
Mozgov doesn't match up well against quick highly skilled finesse bigs like Bosh (doesn't play good defense away from the basket) or play adequate team defense. His lack of team defense is why Mozgov hasn't played more in the NBA since arriving despite his physical talent, strong post defense and decent short jump shot and finishing around the basket offensively.
Mozgov has really good quickness and mobility for a guy his size and should be able to do more as a help defender with strong coaching. A very good option to pickup cheap and develop into a quality player.
