    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Washington Wizards and free agent forward Michael Ruffin have agreed to contract terms, according to agent Andy Miller .

    Terms of the agreement were not available, and Ruffin cannot sign it until the new collective bargaining agreement is ratified. The 6-foot-8, 248-pound Ruffin averaged 1.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 16 minutes per game last season with the Wizards.</div>

    I like this resigning. Ruffin is a hard worker and a pretty good post defender. He brings that aggressive edge that we thought we would get from Etan Thomas last year, but we didn't. He is a great off the bench role player and can teach the young guys a thing or two about post defense.

    Ruffin is a good guy. His post defense isn't neccesarily that good, he's a strong guy, and works hard, but he's undersized, and he's not that good against most taller PF's. He has a good effect offensively though because of his offensive rebounding ability.
