Battier At Power Forward Could Solve Houston's Problems

Houston Chronicle - With the addition of Bonzi Wells, Shane Battier may be used at power forward more than the Rockets were initially thinking.

"I run through everything," he said. "Every play I try to rotate between the power forward and small forward positions. You have to understand, the wings are interchangeable. There's really four positions I'm trying to learn in a short period.

"I played a lot of power forward for the U.S. team," Battier said of his significant role with the USA Basketball entry at the World Championship in Japan. "Although I was used in spots at power forward for Memphis, I think I will be used a lot more here. It's confidence from playing the four spot internationally and then here."

I think with a PF pure they have a good rotation
