LaMarcus Aldridge scouting report for Spurs fans

Now that LaMarcus has decided to play with the Spurs for the foreseeable future, what should Spurs fans expect from him?

Pounding the Rock welcomes the always great Dave Deckard, of sister blog Blazer's Edge, and his expertise of Portland basketball for a quick round of Q&A.

1. What are Aldridge's limitations defensively, and what is his ceiling as a defender?

Dave Deckard: Aldridge operates well in space for a big man. As long as he can stay mobile, you won't be ashamed of him as a defender. He can stay in front of wings on the perimeter if switched and sweep across for help when needed.
