Plaisted can play D
http://newsnet.byu.edu/story.cfm/69044
NBA impressed with Plaisted's D, especially defending pick and roll--attributed to Coach Rose. Take that, Funk. |

and even then that could only be a crackpot, right? I don't think Plaisted's defense was stellar, but he wasn't Araujo either. Araujo's D was laughably bad. Plaisted was serviceable on defense in the college game. I don't think he'll have much if any of an NBA career, but he will do well in Europe, IMO.

I agree that he can guard white centers in Europe.

Reasons other than his fear of tulips and wooden shoes?

I just watched the Mavericks-Pistons summer league game a few minutes ago. Plaisted did a good job with defending the pick and roll, but didn't do much else.
