Krstic is already a lot better, Dalembert is useless half the time and gets benched because he's retarded.
Please explain. Stop spamming. Obviously Dalembert is the better defender here. He guards the post well and he is a great shot blocker. How else do you think he got that contract? If he can work on his post game I think he will have the better career.
Sam Dalembert is a good shotblocker, so what? He gets benched throughout the year because he plays stupid. He's useless on offense and is not a 'great' defender, if he was a great defender the 76ers wouldn't be losing all those games. He doesn't seem to improve year to year.
I never said he was a great defender...I just said he was a better defender than Krstic. He is a pretty good defender, why else would he have gotten his contract?
Because he was a raw 23 year old who looked to be a dominant shotblocker...and the 76ers were the only team stupid enough to pay him that much.

They got him for a bargain compared to what Atlanta was going to pay him.
He guards the post pretty well. His blocks are also a sign of that. He is still young too so his defense will get better than it is.
The only thing I have against Dalembert is his low basketball IQ and boneheaded play. If he can spend the offseason working with Moses Malone, and actually improve, I'd absolutely love it.He has a huge upside, but he just needs to take the necessary steps to realize that potential.
kristic...dalembert needs major work. he's a decent shot-blocker. and that is ALL he is. he isn't even very good at what he does.. which is supposed to be a force on defense and a body to be thrown around..at least kristic is an okay defender and a consistant scorer.
I'll take Krstic. His offensive game is lightyears ahead of Dalembert's and he's a solid rebounder too. I also like how much Krstic has improved since comming into the league. What a difference a year makes. Dalembert is a good rebounder and shot blocker though, but he is overpaid and overrated in my opinion. But when he wants to, he can swat 3-5 shots most of the time. But I agree he does play dumb and he doesn't look like he knows the plays (the very little that they do run).
Dalembert got his contract from potential. He played real well in the playoss last year. They though he would play really well this year. Bu we soon realised it was a big waste of money.

Krstic has a offensive game, when Dalembert is a worthless sh*t. On defense, Dalembert is a above average defender, and hes a good shotblocker. He has the size, and potential to be a great player.
