    He's an end of the bench guy...just to give Tim, McDyess, and Blair some rest...last guy on the bench..what has Sun Yue done? Any highlight games? At least Ratliff is a presence when it comes to blocked shots.

    In the 2003–04 season, he recorded a league-leading 307 blocked shots.

    He is not a superstar. He is a deep bench back up. If he is healthy he will be swatting Gasol's shots no doubt.

    He's a good shotblocker, not a good post defender. Gasol would ball this got up and throw him in the trash.
