I like the sounds of the part about taking pride in his defense, not only will it help him when it is his time to step onto the court, but he can pressure BJ during practice this year. It will let BJ go up against a pretty talented legit 7' to get more used to playing against guys his size as well has making him hone his offensive repertoire. It may also help light a fire in BJ's belly to play great defense at all times, one small knock against him.
It is good to have such a deep team at all positions it should make for some extremely spirited practice sessions and great competition, leading to better results on the court.
It is also a blessing that Z is going to be going up against BJ in practice as he will be tested by a guy expected to play in the NBA sooner rather than later, and this will prepare Z a lot better for his role in 2009-2010. Add in the strength and athletecism that Dallas brings to practice and all three should really help the others develop, as well as KM.
I can't wait for tip-off
