Has there ever been such a, well, "strange" Starter/Backup Combination at Center for a team ? 2 Big Men replacing each other that are this clearly Cs (and Cs only) and can actually play and had a great career repectively (different level of course, but even Z was an Allstar after all) but have very defined weaknesses in terms of mobility at their age.
Seems really strange to have Shaq go out and replace him with Ilgauskas.

This will get exposed by quite a few teams if they stick with that clear-cut rotation at Center (and not shift Varejao over there at times, but then wh´s playing PF other than Hickson ?).

With neither being a good (or even decent) help defender at this stage you can´t even afford to take Varejao out of the game for more than 2,3 minutes at a time, he´ll play a ton of minutes this year.
