Imagine Plaisted against Garnett, Duncan, or Boozer.
Those of you that follow the NBA closely, is there any 4 that gets playing time in the NBA that plaisted would be better than?

IMO, a lot of the 'he's not a good defender or rebounder', and the 'he can't compete with NBA players' rhetoric comes from people who have an incorrect understanding of his talents.
I'm not saying he'll be a start in the NBA, or that he'll even get so much as a minute of pt.
I'm simply saying that, for the most part, I trust the majority of the anti-Plaisted-ite's judgement on his NBA-worthiness about as much as I trust the average terrorist.
