yah, seriously those guys have great bball IQ. I think that is what Morey type players are.... not all stats but I think he values, heart, iq, toughness and hustle.
It seems as though Battier is not asked to guard the other teams best player every moment he's out there either. I think Adleman's recognized that he needs his other players to take a turn...even the worst defender can manage for a short while. That allows Battier to help out elsewhere, probably makes the game more fun for him, and thus a better overall player.
