  Question from Jay on Al Harrington's defense - Pacers Digest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Al's lateral quickness since the knee injury has taken a turn for the worse, he simply cannot stay in front of people like he used to.
One other very important thing about AL that worries me is he has a natural tendency to put on weight, that is just his body type, as he gets older and older he will become more of a power forward who is incapable of defending small forwards.
Two years ago my dream was to have AL and Ron on the court at the same time, I thought that was going to be the best defensive combo in the league, well it never materialized after two full seasons, partly because AL has lost something defensively.
