His passing and rebounding will add a lot to this team, and he may be able to chip in one to two blocks as well. Rysheed and D'Lo will get a lot of open looks after kick outs.Absolutely, two of our biggest weaknesses last year were not having a point guard who could break down the defense or a big man who was skilled offensively. Looks like we have gone a long way in fixing both of those. As excited as I am to see Rysheed, I'm equally excited to see Orlando.Rebounding should get better as well, and really, the third main issue was outside shooting... i really really hope all the wings/guards have been working like crazy on their jumpers. If the jump shot has improved we'll crush a lot of teams based on that + what you've discussed above.

I wonder what position he will start at. I think he should spend most of his time at the forward spots, but he will spend some time at the five. Think he will be a match up nightmare for opposing teams.
