After watching how he played last season, undoubtedly yes. Definitely not enough of a difference maker there to keep Sweets scoring off the floor, was gthe basis of what I said. Theyll each have their time to shine in different spots, and like I said it will be around 20 a game for each, but I think Sweets will go out and prove he is worthy of more than the 18 he got last year. People are giving PJ WAY too much credit, especially the ones who think he's some sort of lock down post presence, please, he wasnt even that when he was still good.

Well, I see it the opposite way. You're believing the hype about Sweetney's fantastical weigth loss and underestimating Brown's presence on the floor and in the locker room.

PJ prolly wasnt known as a lock down post pressense, but if you really think about it, there isnt many of them... Name 3 of them currently playing in the NBA right now...

-PJ did have the label as being a very good low post defender... Kinda like Antonio Davis. I do remember hearing people say that.

One thing about PJ is that he's solid. He's not really gonna hurt you out there on the court. Sweets on the other hand is mostly known for taking up space, pretty solid rebounder, and taking shots, getting his own rebounds, and shooting again.

And the thing that really hurts him is his lateral movement. He's kinda like an Eddy Curry. He's not that good at defending screen and rolls, and cant really step out into the perimeter. He's just a guy that will guard the big guys that will post up. He needs to stay in the paint. And if you stay in the paint, you have to be able to guard the paint when players drive in.... yes, also known as help out defense. As far as how good Sweetny is at guarding the paint... well, he still needs a lot of work. I do remember him getting better at the end of the season tho. He finally took a couple charges at the end of the season. I remember the Bulls Bench going crazzy after he took a charge

Sweets losing weight only means one thing, that he should be better. he will be in better shape, and quicker. As far as how quick he will be on defense, that remains to be seeing. Overall, the guy still has a very wide body, and i dunno if he's gonna have those "quick feet" that every1 notices for defense.

The difference between Christi and Wallace is a big one in terms of position. Having a defensive big man changes teams offensive game planes. They wont be able to dump off down low all the time and will have to play more honest. That lets guys like Hinrich and Duhon play their defense without the constant concern of having to help out downlow. It makes everyone better and is gonna make a good defensive team great.

Good Point
