The Dalembert Dilemma

In one of my leagues, someone just traded O.J. Mayo for Samuel Dalembert.  He was desperate for center help, but at first glance my first thought was still “huh?” because the last time I looked Dalembert wasn’t playing much.  Then I looked at his last week and saw that he’s been going ballistic again.  It made me think about a bullet-point I had in my Hoops Lab almost a month ago, pointing out that at the time in the 12 games when Samuel Dalembert played at least 29 minutes he had averaged 11.1 boards and 3.2 blocks, and in his other 12 games he had averaged 5.8 boards with 0.9 blocks. 

In the almost-month since at update, Dalembert has played 12 more games.  In nine of them he played less than 29 minutes, averaging 7.3 boards and 2.3 blocks per game in 18 minutes per game.  In his last three games he has played more than 29 minutes in every game, averaging 14.3 boards and 2.7 blocks (along with 15.3 points) in 36 minutes. So…how does one value that?  Sixers coach Eddie Jordan changes the line-up on almost a weekly basis, and there are at least three other players (Elton Brand, Marreese Seights and Thaddeus Young) that have gotten regular minutes at power forward or center for the Sixers this season.  Will it ever be safe to plug Dalembert into your center slot permanently and just play him every game?  Probably not.  On the other hand, can you afford to just ignore the upside of a player that has a 20/20 game, a double-double with five blocks, and a near triple-double (9 boards, eight points, seven blocks) in only 23 minutes all within the last two weeks? Ultimately, I think you have to play the value game with Dalembert.  If you already have him, try your best to trade him for a good starter like Mayo during one of Dalembert’s hot streaks (like now).  If you don’t have Dalembert, wait until the next time he averages less than 15 minutes of game time for a full week and then try to get him added as the “throw-in player” in a multi-player deal.  He’s too much value not to be in play in most leagues, but you just want to make sure that you maximize that value and don’t end up the one stuck relying upon him when he’s sitting on the Philly bench.

Marc Jackson talks about adopting Samuel Dalembert’s box of pregnant cats.

NBA Catwatch spoke with former NBA center Marc Jackson about the time he adopted teammate Samuel Dalembert’s cats.

NBA Catwatch: In a 2009 Ric Bucher profile of Samuel Dalembert, he writes about Dalembert’s “10 unhousebroken cats--now relocated to ex-teammate Marc Jackson's horse farm...” but when we emailed, you claimed it wasn’t actually 10 cats. Marc Jackson: It was four cats, because I had a 24-stall barn for my horses, and I had a mouse problem. So I needed a cat, and Sam says “Hey I got a bunch of cats” and I said I’d take them. So the next day he put them in a box, and brought them to practice. His hands were all scratched up.

NBA Catwatch: Wait were they all in one box?

Marc Jackson: It was a big huge box, a TV could fit in it. A huge box.

NBA Catwatch: And he brought this to the practice facility?

Marc Jackson: Yeah, he brought them to practice.

NBA Catwatch: Did you open the box there?

Marc Jackson: Oh heck no! I waited until I got back to the farm and opened it up. I kept them in a room with food for two or three days, until they knew where the food was.

You know, it might have been six, because as soon as I opened the door and let them into the barn, two of them ran away and I never seen them again.

And when Sam said they were wild, they were wild.  The other four that stayed around, they were mean. You’d walk up to them and they’d hiss at you. They ended up hiding in different places and having babies, and in total I had 18 to 20 kittens in the barn.

NBA Catwatch: Did you say all of them were pregnant?

Marc Jackson: Every last one was pregnant. Here’s the interesting part - The four of them had kittens, and over the course of months, the kittens started growing, and then leaving. So after a period of a year and a half, I ended up with two cats.

NBA Catwatch: And were those ones nicer to you?

Marc Jackson: Yeah, those were two of the kittens that ended up staying - and I have them on my horse farm in Tampa, Florida now.

NBA Catwatch: And do those two cats have names?

Marc Jackson: Ummm. Not really.

NBA Catwatch: Was Samuel Dalembert sad to give up his cats?

Marc Jackson: I don’t know what he was, I just know he helped me out, because I didn’t have a mouse problem no more!

NBA Catwatch: You’re a horse lover, can you tell me what role horses play in your life?

Marc Jackson: Currently I have three horses. It’s a hobby of mine, I ride a horse every day. A lot of players go out nightclubbing, or hanging out, me I just take care of my horses. It’s very relaxing and comfortable for me.

NBA Catwatch: I know you must get this question a lot, but do you have to ride an extra large horse?

Marc Jackson: I have a Quarter Horse, a 16 hand Quarter Horse.

NBA Catwatch: Do you think having animals around would be helpful to NBA players?

Marc Jackson: To each his own. Everybody has to have a hobby that brings him down from the competitive nature of basketball. I think it’s a blessing of nature, that God gives you animals and it’s good to have them in your life. That’s just my opinion on it.

NBA Catwatch: Did you ever hear any players talk about cats during your time in the NBA?

Marc Jackson: That’s a really good question, and I just don’t know.

NBA Catwatch: Thank you so much for your time Mr. Jackson, I really appreciate you talking with me.

Marc Jackson: Thank you very much. Have a wonderful, blessed day!
