He can do more than dunk.

Just use Artest at the 4, and bring in Scola and Landry against their 2nd string or a worn out starter.
I think Landy looks like he lost a little too much weight to the play the PF position. He just looks really lean, I think he needs to add some more lbs of muscle.
From his frist Summer League: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JOLngZFLRJ0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JOLngZFLRJ0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Landry's one-on-one defense is no worse than Scola's, in my opinion. It might be superior, actually, because of his athleticism. Scola has an edge in terms of team defense.
Lets face it the PFs KG, Brand, Boozer, Duncan etc are good because they are difficult to stop. We should not expect that Scola or Landry would be able to stop them, but they will work hard to play tough defense on those guys to make their shots as difficult as possible. Thats all we want from them tough defense, forcing difficult or contested shots. I hope Hayes can give Scola and Landry some tips on how to play solidly on the defensive end. Tonight Landry and Scola are atleast moving their feet. Collison is playing well.
