My expectations of Amare on that end are not going to be that high, but overall our team defense should do a better job of hiding him. If he's playing next to Sam Dalembert or Cole Aldrich protecting the rim he will do just fine.
And where not switching and watch while he ends up guarding a damn PG or SG
After watching the video breakdown of how the triangle works, Stat looks like a natural Center in the system. He has the mid range game and all the curls/PNR are perfect for him. Having the post up game as a last resort is a total bonus. The defense also looks like it provides a lot of help and he should be able to block a lot of shots as the help defender. This could actually work with Stat.
