<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With Dale Davis back from a hamstring injury, the roster is a bit clogged at power forward. Behind regular rotation players Rasheed Wallace and Antonio McDyess sit Davis and second-year forward Maxiell. Both fill needs. Davis is a physical defender, a savvy veteran and a solid rebounder who can handle big bodies inside. "When you're going to go against size, you'll play Dale some," Saunders said. But the undersized Maxiell brings an energy boost, an ability to finish big inside and go to the free-throw line. For those reasons, and the ever-growing trend of playing small ball, Maxiell will earn minutes, too. "Teams are going so small right now," Saunders said, "that sometimes it's tough to play big guys." That means both must get used to playing one night and possibly not playing the next.</div> Source
