1) I never said anything about Fous or Atiki being bullied in the paint, I singled out Khalifa, just pointing out he was far from a rim protector or dominant presence down low, due to his injury.

2) When did I say anything about help defense or guards being beat? Are you arguing that Khalifa held his own, man on man down low? Either on defense or offense?

3) He got swatted multiple times trying to sneak the ball off the backboard or over the rim...he was never a threat to slam it down one on one. Nor was he able to get up to challenge anyone going hard to the rim. He was slow, couldn't elevate, and didn't have quick hops to be in position to challenge shots around the rim.

4) He got a decent amount of rebounds, but that was due more to boxing out and being in position, not because of his elevating to grab contested boards off the rim.

I'm not looking to slam Khalifa, just being factual about his limitations last season due to his injury and lack of mobility. If you're claiming he was a major presence down low, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree
