2114623, LA's a skill PF, almost a tweener SF, but guess what? that's okay!

he's not Zach Randolph. if anything he's the antithesis of Zach Randolph in every respect.
Terry Stotts has been using him extremely well and in the early season Neil Olshey seems to have a vision for the team which recognizes ball movement and highly technical players are what will be effective when you have main cogs like Aldridge + Batum + Lillard.
Aldridge + Batum are going to get bodied by Memphis every time they play. that's just inevitable. but Aldridge + Batum have proven that they can show more SKILL than quality teams on some nights and win. keep pushing in that direction and they'll be on the right side of .500 again.
(which is all I really ever defend LA on -- he's a winner. maybe not a sure-fire centerpiece on a contender (actually obviously not that) but he's good enough to win more than he loses in the NBA and that's more than many can say)
