I think for ANYONE to be effective they need to play with skilled players regardless. He is what I expected... not great defensively and not as physical as before (he's not 25 anymore), but no way he is hurting the team. Yes I agreed everyone on the team should work hard. But I'm going to say again, the coaches knows how hard he actually works than any one of us here. Not many mid-30 players can play at this level, especially with his injury a few years ago. That itself tells me how hard he works and still loves the game.
