There's no good big men in the East so Wallace can roam and do whatever he wants.

You must have missed the Pistons/Timberwolves game the other night. Wallace did a damn good job guarding Garnett, holding him to 8-23 shooting, and had an absolutely awesome block on Garnett late in the game, that Garnett gave him props for right after it happened. Phenomenal game too, T-Wolves won 80-79.

Benji doesn't shut players down like Ron does. Wallace is a center and you know the Shaq and Duncan would chew him up.

Wallace switches between forward & center, Memet Okur is the Piston's true center. Trust me, Wallace shuts players down, he usually dominates them.
