Sheed's size as a post defender should make him an asset against the Cavs w/Shaq and Orlando w/Howard when Perk inevitably gets in foul trouble.
Today, his apparent inability to lift his arms above his waist to contest jumpers off of screens as a help defender was shameful in a playoff elimination game.
Today, his size advantage did not translate into a basketball advantage, such as on the glass or in the post.
Today, and against Miami, Shelden just might have an edge over Sheed.
Oddly enough, Sheed was signed as KG insurance, but can only back up the 5, and then only against slower moving post players. Still, that might be critical if we can get past Miami...
